We are a party of 6 that stayed in 3 Junior Suites. Rooms are nice and service is good. Property urgently needs updating and repairs. According to the information displayed in Expedia, Breakfast was supposed to be free but, the hotel staff said that it was not included in the rate. So we had no complimentary breakfast.

Lamentablemente muy descuidado. Antes iba muy seguido y no estaba asi. Los banos compartidos estaban sucios, la piscina se esta despintando y sucia. Los cuartos estan con humedad. Lastima porque la naturaleza ahi es muy linda pero lo mas importante esta descuidado.

Nos hospedamos una noche, la seguridad de las puertas es pésima, en nuestro hospedaje estando dentro de la habitación a las 1:30 de la mañana mientras dormíamos un funcionario del hotel nos abrió la puerta mientras alumbraba con un foco, por supuesto estábamos durmiendo y nos asustó, solo nos dijo que pensó que la habitación estaba vacía. Al amanecer fuimos a hacer el reclamo y el señor solo dijo que por “error” sucedió, que tenían desorden con las reservas, la gerente indicó que nos llamaría y nunca lo hizo. Entonces NUNCA más nos vamos a hospedar ahí y NO recomendamos ese lugar para hospedarse. Es PÉSIMO. Adicional, las habitaciones están deterioradas y en pésimo estado. El peor hotel al que hemos ido, eso es.

Disliked: Staff & service

Poor service

The room was given to us 2 hours after the check in time and our children had to wait at the lobby for the room keys. I chose this hotel for the pool so my siblings could enjoy the place and we did lost half a day. When I asked for compensation, they offered a late check out until 1:30 pm which I usually get anyway for my membership status. Anyway, NOT HAPPY
