"Excelente! Habitación y baño amplios, linda piscina privada y hamaca para descanso. Linda piscina y playa a un paso. Ideal el supermercado con precios razonables. Precioso parque con palmeras y arboles en el camino de la habitacion a la playa. No nos gusto la demora en el bar de la piscina y que no alcanzaban las reposeras en la playa. Un aspecto a mejorar, al menos en nuestra habitación, era que no tenia jarra eléctrica ni microondas o algo para cocinar."

"Un lugar hermoso y la playa espectacular. De pronto un poco caluroso y cerrado el comedor durante los desayunos pero la habitación cómoda, bonita y limpia y pensaron en cada pequeño detalle para que el huésped disfrute de todos los espacios. La música en vivo en las noches Espectacular!!El comedor era un poco bullicioso y encerrado y hacía bastante calor en los desayunos. Es lo único que deberían arreglar."

"The hotel is beautiful, and the staff is very friendly. Any issues we had were resolved promptly. My main complaint is the inconsistency sometimes the service, food, cleanliness, and hospitality were excellent, and other times very disappointing. Also, there is no safe walkway outside the hotel, so if you enjoy walking, running, or biking, it can be very dangerous."
