10/10 Exceptional

The staff was super nice and helpful. The room was clean and it over looked the beautiful pool. The parking lot is guarded 24hrs and every guest wears a wristband to know you are a guest. The room service was open until 1am, which was awesome because we were out at a wedding until 10pm. I will definitely be returning to this location. .

Daniel, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was vert clean and nice, front staff were nice. Only problem was one very rude staff member at the bar near the pool,short,male,dark. I ordered 2 sodas and a long island iced tea. I paid in pesos and gave him a tip in pesos as well. He then responded in spanish that giving a tip in pesos is offensive and gave the tip back to me. That kind of ruined our vibe and we left the pool. Other than that we had a great stay.
Gloria, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall, the property was slightly outdated, but the room had been renovated and was clean. A couple of areas that could be improved: The hot water supply was insufficient, forcing us to take cold showers. Guests are required to wear a wristband throughout their stay, which can be inconvenient as it remains on even during showers or when going out. Additionally, when our wristband went missing, the front desk gave us a hard time, despite us having our room keys.
