Disliked: Cleanliness
This hotel isn't managed well. We waited 10 minutes at the beach bar before 8 workers talking amongst themselves decided to serve us. Staff was friendly. Pool area was gross. We stayed 3 nights and the pool was never cleaned.
The pools had lots of algae growing on the bottom.
Leaves and other things that were never removed.
Pool area. There's a lot of bird droppings that were never cleaned up over a 3 day stay.
Black mold on the toilet.

En general, la experiencia fue buena y el hotel es cómodo. Solo tuvimos una experiencia maluca con un par de arañas en la habitación y el personal es un poco cerrado a servicios de aplicaciones (aunque avisé antes, no dejaron entrar a un Uber que solicité y tuve que caminar a la portería, y a los repartidores les ponen mucho problema).

Great hotel for the price. Staff was really friendly. Bar and food were good but service was slow. Great pool and huge sandy beaches. Noise from aircraft is irritating but not constant. Not a lot of outside the resort facilities nearby. Low cost friendly taxis always available. Would recommend for a family vacation spot.
