Una maravilla de hotel. Siempre un placer estar ahí, son pocas habitaciones lo que hace que sea un lugar tranquilo para descansar en paz. El personal es muy amable. Las camas amplias y comidas, cuartos limpios y todo funcionando bien.
Ubicación estratégica. Muy cerca del aeropuerto y sitios de interés. Supera la expectativa. Lleno de rincones instagrameables. Limpio. Cómodo. Nice. Excelente lugar para trabajar. Silencioso y las camas son lo máximo. La vista es espectacular. Muy recomendable.
Super buen precio y nos atendieron de maravilla. Nos ayudaron en todo momento a que nuestra estancia fuera cómoda. Es un hotel nuevo y las habitaciones son muy cómodas y super limpias. La ubicación no es buena pero el personal del hotel siempre nos ayudo para encontrar transporte.
Muy bn, pocas cosas que mejorar Quizá estacionamiento seria lo q mas les hace falta
Reservé porque quería un lugar tranquilo y sin duda fue la mejor opción. Todo el personal es muy amable y atento. Las habitaciones son amplias, frescas y tienen todo lo necesario para que te sientas en casa.
The hotel has a lot of upside and potential but falls short in some key areas. We came to the hotel as a largo group + kids; the huge plus was that we could rent the entire hotel and bring in a chef to cook for us. The aesthetic is trendy with modern touches, nice patio furniture, comfy beds, and a good sized pool. The hotel also comes with 3 nice terrazas with “views” of the ocean (it’s distant). The drawbacks: pool doesn’t get cleaned enough (murky), the location is okay with fairly poor access, the rooms are open to the outside in some parts (like the bathroom) so critters get inside, it’s next to unkept lots that welcome more critters (like a tarantula), and the water pressure is weak in the showers. Super friendly staff, but for the drawbacks, we would most likely not come back.
The aesthetic of this place is beautiful. Each space is really put together well. It is quiet place to chill and relax.
Me encantó este hotel un lugar pequeño pero muy acogedor, el cuarto es muy amplio, el baño de buen espacio y la alberca pequeña pero suficiente para disfrutar, no cuenta con televisión pero yo la verdad venía a descansar así que ni se diga perfecto para lo que yo buscaba

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
