A little dated
The hotel has a great location, looks great from the road, nice pool, direct access to the beach.
Was told no outside food or delivery. Restaurant seemed like it was closed.
Room was okay size. Walls could use some fresh paint, and mattress definitely needs to be replaced. Woke up with sore back and neck.

Could be great, but...
Check in was smooth. Got to the room and it looked great at first. Went into the bathroom and the toilet was leaking onto the floor. Nice puddle had formed. Informed the front desk and they had someone come mop it up with towels in the morning. Never addressed the cause and spent the next 35 hours with a growing pool of water in the CR.
The shower didnt drain either. Standing water for two days in the shower. Problem never addressed. Whole bathroom with standing water from wall to wall is a big problem. They were indifferent. Huge red flag.
Went to the restaurant and ordered a coffee in the morning. Got the smallest cup of coffee ive ever been served, which cost around 150 pesos, maybe more. Friends came to have breakfast with me. The "free breakfast' i paid for didnt work because i dont eat meat, so i ordered a veggie omelet. No discount whatsover, no 'hey we can give you 10 percent off" , (usually some type of empathy is shown) which would have been better than absolutely nothing. By this time the accumulation of their indifferences is starting to add up and Im getting frustrated. Never was i offered any type of discount or different accommodations, full price was needed for everything, and their lack of concern is a new bar ive seen set. Ive traveled to thousands of hotels and ive never seen such a cash grab on the coffee/breakfast and the lack of concern on the water issues with the plumbing.
The pool and patio is beautiful, but not worth the other headaches.

Great hotel poor service.
The hotel itself is great located on the beach and near the local night district. However, there fees and services are outrageous. I was charged 200 peso for morning coffee and when asked for transport to the bus terminal I was quoted 500 peso. On a metered taxi the cost is around 180-200. I understand a small connivence charge but over 100% mark up is not reasonable.

Was put into a room when we first arrived which was outdated and the basin tap barely attached to the basin.
They changed rooms when we asked.
Would not stay again.
Breakfast included was horrible, two dried wafer thin pieces of Ham, about 3” square.one egg and one half piece of toast.

The positives about this property were: nice pool and hot tub; excellent view and right on the beach; half the staff we dealt with were cordial and welcoming. The negatives were: the other half of the staff we dealt with seemed like it was a chore to interact with us; our room was a "Deluxe", but would be standard at most other hotels; it was ok, but the walls were marked-up need to be repainted; the bed was only a double and slanted toward our heads (my girlfriend and I slept with our heads at the foot of the bed); there is no refrigerator; there was a light in the ceiling that would not shut off, which made it hard to sleep. The breakfast that comes with your room reservation is average. My overall impression was that this was a really nice hotel when it opened 9 or 10 years ago, but owenership/management has implemented cost cutting measures that have allowed it to "slip" a little. Not a horrible experience, but I would not stay here again. We toured a few other hotels that are nicer and give you more for your money.

Exceeding our expectations
We were very impressed with this hotel.
It exceeded our expectations.
Small things matter though
1. No hand towels
2. No hairdryer
3. No tea and coffee facilities
4. Very limited shampoo (1 between 2 people staying

The property was clean and the front desk staff were polite.
The outside area besides the pool had loud music playing, only 3 loungers within the actual pool as visible within the photo. The remaining seating was wire with no cushions so very uncomfortable after 10 minutes, I was expecting at lease a relaxing poolside location that would enable you to lounge by.

Check in was fine. The food was pretty good! The staff wasn’t rude, but they certainly were not very hospitable. The WiFi was very spotty and kept going in and out. The beach was so dirty. The worst part was check out. They are a cash only hotel. They do not accept credit cards and this is NOT POSTED anywhere. I had to walk all over town in the pouring rain to try and find an ATM. When I did, it was out of cash. I ended up having to wire myself cash and go to a western Union pickup station. Was a nightmare.
