This place is closed since march 2019 due to pandemic however they are doing bookings and taking people's money. Don't bother with this. I complained and ask for refund that was denied.

Good place to stay with the family for a weekend
The crevice was good.The decoration is beautiful and the beach and the pool are great,but I think the entrance to the hotel needs to be fixed, the refrigerators need to hibernate conectes to the electric outlet. Also the bar and the kitchen area should have better equipment .in addition as this is a family place they should have a kids pool and other amenities for kids. The fans of the room I was needs to be fixed

Pleasant!
Was a pleasant experience. Good for everyone. Wilke was very helpful. He went out of his way to TRY and make my experience worth while. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Clean resort. My room was on the second floor(222) overlooking the pool and the beach. Great view. Room was good. Air conditioning takes time to get going. I like it frosty. Bed was adequate, thin mattress. Linens were clean, not stained, and no loose hairs. Wifi was great in the room but weakened at the beach. slow but working. The bathroom was good. The shower is undersized. I am 6'4" 224lbs. Width was good but the clearance was not. Watch your head, keep your arms bent. In-room safe costs extra. You need to ask the desk for a key. Costs a few dollars a day. Not sure about the amount or laptop compatibility. Room had a mini fridge with water. I suggest getting some beer for late hours as the bars close at 10pm depending on the amount of people still drinking.
Food is buffet style 3 times a day. The food was not great at first but got better. The short short ribs were great. They were really short. 2 bars and a a la carte restaurant on the premises was good.
People from outside use the beach and restaurant making parking in the 5 space lot non-existant. Parking extends up the driveway to the secondary street. People walking thru from public beach adjacent to the resort. Public beach has a restaurant... DO NOT EAT THERE! RIP OFF! More like shanties people cook local fare, serve beer/soda. BE CAREFUL!

Scary looking place and surroundings
We arrived at this hotel and decided not to stay. The neighborhood we drove through before getting there looked questionable. Upon arrival, the property did not look inviting and given the neighborhood and late hour of arrival, we decided we didn't feel comfortable staying. We found another place about 20 minutes away which was much more inviting and secure.

The hotel grounds are really lovely; the interior garden and the beach are highlights. The food was less exciting; the meals were uniformly uninteresting and not well prepared or presented. Everything else was great.

Acceptable nice little place
Overall, it was a nice stay. I did enjoy the calm and quietness of this place. Room was ok, there is always something that do not work properly but the staff always try to accommodate and fix the problem. No problem with hot water in bathroom but not much pressure in the shower. The restaurant is nice and they serve a good small simple buffet that is pretty much the same food day after day, its ok for a week but longer than that it becomes... The hotel as a small restaurant by the beach that you can order from a menu at your cost. There is nothing close if you do not have a car, but with moto taxi you can go to other resto and small bars within 10 min. In general the staff was friendly. The beach is private but vendors are allowed on it, so you get solicited every once and a while...
