The proximity to the beach is great. The pool needs some update but not too bad. The room was very outdated. The shower old and outdated. We found small roaches trying to crawl up the drain. We ate at the restaurant twice. Not a big selection but the food and staff was decent. It has a great view to the beach.

Everything and everybody were great, except when we did checked in on 7/19 the person was not very welcoming or friendly. But after the checked in process was done all was well. During our checked out time Edith was great, we felt that we wanted to come back soon.

WE HAD A GOOD STAY, THE ROOMS ARE CLEAN AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. THE POOL WAS OUT OF SERVICE, AND IT WAS MAINLY THE REASON WE GOT THE HOTEL BECAUSE THERE WAS POOL FOR THE KIDS.

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 The hotel is outdated but very clean, and the pool and beach are clean.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.

The room had dust bunnies, accrued dust on lamp extensions, hot water was very slow coming out of sink and shower, room door to exterior looked more like a closet door rather than a hotel room security door.

In my opinion, this hotel was great. I was nervous when I saw the reviews but it was AMAZING! I definitely recommend staying here. The beach is literally a 4 minute walk and it’s a private one too.
