The room was clean and people were friendly. Also, the breakfast was quite good. On the negative side, television services were very poor, the beds were hard, and the blinds did not work properly. Storage in terms of a dresser or drawers was also very lacking. It was quite small and uncomfortable for my wife, 2 sons, and I and we checked out early.

Disliked: Staff & service
We had a Difficult experience being at this hotel as the front desk didn’t speak any word of English. I find it weird and disappointing to be at such a brand hotel that employs staff that don’t speak English especially with customer facing positions. We wasted our morning on the first day trying to take information about where to go to the beach and Parking information. The receptionist was using the phone for translation. Also the attitude of receptionist was so indifferent and rude. Also on the day of our arrival, which was late and we have a 20 months old baby with us, they told us that they have no more rooms left and transferred us to the suites building! They claimed it was an upgrade, but I am not too sure about that. Be careful with your belongings as our daughter’s shoe and an iPhone charger disappeared from our room. We engaged with the management to find them but no luck.

La comida estuvo rica, pero los jugos se gastan rápidamente y tardan en rellenarlo, por lo que observé si se supervisa pero esperan tiempo para prepararlo. Una sugerencia es poner aproximadamente cada cuanto tiempo se rellena o se cambian los alimentos. Hay rejas oxidadas que las pintan pero pueden darle mantenimiento porque están muy oxidadas o bien, ya rotas (poner un letrero) pues solo pintar no es adecuado (que tal si alguien se corta).
