Numerous large wild dogs were found at the parking lot and inside the hotel facility. Rooms were humid, in poor conditions. Mattress was old and hard. Reserved a queen bed. Got a full. Had to check out and leave due to the unhealthy and unsafe conditions of the hotel.

First, the entrance is going beyond a weird tunnel that looks very sketchy and with lack of light. The place looks more like a very old motel 6, and the property you are greeted by dogs. I didn't mind the dogs afterwards as they were friendly, however, it does take away even more from the property. When we checked in, the guy made the comment that they stay for four days is around $200 and through expedia, we paid almost $700, i felt ripped off, specially because the place was not even worth that. The photos show similar, however, when you walk in and you are able to see the details with your eyes, is even more depressing. An airplane’s bathroom is bigger than the space for the toilet in this hotel. The hotel was previously another one, and they didnt even update the name of the emergency evacuation plan. This place looks and feels very depressing, and I wish I would have booked only one day before booking my whole stay for the four days. I suggest that if you are looking for a place to stay, and nothing else available, don’t do more than 1 night, and if I were you, I would get to the hotel instead of booking through Expedia, it is rip off for this below 1 star hotel

Not a great property. When we reached here the reception room was closed and it took around 15-20mins for us to reach the receptionist to get the keys. The room seemed clean but as soon as we increased the room temperature we could see couple bugs creeping out. This place is not according to the postured posted.

En la oficina de servicio al cliente nos trataron muy bien, fueron muy amables. Saquen los perros realengos. Pongan música en la entrada o en el área de la piscina, sobretodo ahora que es época navideña. El hotel está bien sólo para pasar la noche. Luce desolado.

Deception
The photos presented in the Hotel promotion are a hoax. The cleaning is terrible, the facilities are lacking maintenance. There is practically no service. I paid for the stay through Hotel.com and the Hotel did not have the information for the app. I prefer to sleep in the car than in that Hotel.

The hotel was nothing like in the pictures. There were so many stray dogs everywhere and they follow you around, they sleep on the chairs by the pool. The room was average but clean. The Wi-Fi was not available during our stay and the service at the pool bar was poor. They took forever to make drinks and food which I guess I understand if they’re under staff. It was not the greatest place to stay overall.

Condition of the hotel
There was just one other couple staying there. The entrance does not have a sign to indicate where the hotel is located. The place felt abandoned. The staff lady was very polite and helpful.
Gap underneath door that permitted small bugs and mosquitos to get inside. We had to cover the gap.
We had to cover the gap underneath the door to avoid bugs getting inside.
Lots of water accumulation that we had to drive thru to get to the hotel.
Main entrance with no signs of the Hotel or the Mech Tech College or beach passed this gate.

Could be better
Beds are uncomfortable, only 2 thin pillows. I asked for 2 more pillows from the cleaning people, I never got them. No fridge in the room. For a tropical island you need a fridge. The workers were very nice. I wouldn't mind staying again if they put a fridge. Otherwise this will be the 1st and last time
