The hotel is right on the beach, so it doesn’t get much better than that. Rooms could use updating but the AC works great, which is most important. The guy at the front desk hates his job.

Very nice! Wish there were more points of access to the beach. Also, the side lounging area next to the pool needs some work. Over all, it was a great experience, the restaurant was so good and the staff was very friendly

It was good for the price. Prob needs an upgrade on the furniture and maybe a mini fridge in the rooms. But very convenient. Private beach, nice pool restaurant was good.

It is my first time in San Felipe; it is nice and within the budget for a vacation or weekend getaway. The hotel is outdated but very clean, and the pool and beach are clean. Everyday room service, a big room, a small free bottle of water daily, towels and shampoo, and a nice restaurant. What I don't like is that there are stray dogs on the beach; there is not enough information about what to bring or what is allowed to bring, as some guests have their own BBQ and chairs and an umbrella. the Hotel is very close to downtown.

Easy check in, large room, the staff was friendly, nice pool area, plenty of parking, close to town but away from city noise. 24 hour security guard. The shower didn't get very warm.

The pool was dirty and the kids couldn’t play in it. Neither was it heated. The rooms are clean but could have made them closer to the beach rather than blocking their view with a restaurant in front. But if you are staying just a night and riding on the it is fine.

Hotel is old now, I booked two rooms and both had issues. One the A/c kept blowing the fuse, the 2nd room had issues with the toilet and wouldn’t flush. The pool has so many broken tile in the water that cut up your toes. For the amount you spend in this hotel you can definitely find something better.

Me gustó el hotel, llegué con otras espectativas pero me fui sorprendido, Para mejorar desde mi punto de vista debido a la fuerte temperatura estaría genial que la alberca tuviera sombra para poder disfrutar más la estancia en el hotel, y camastros en la playa con sombra
