    The personnel were very attentive. Breakfast was good. Security was very good. And the location is good, seeing how many attractions and noise were there on the "Malecon" walkway.

    Given the time of the year that we visited (Dec to Jan) this place was best to stay for the value. It was clean compared to the other hotels, breakfast was included and the staff was friendly.

    Staff at the Blu Hotel were great. We really enjoyed our stay there. Using the amenities of the bigger Tamaca hotel is also a plus, especially when you travel with a baby
