    Room was large, but extremely sparse. Some noted activities were in poor repair. Wine and spirits were fairly low level.

    Food and beach were nice.

    The food was not good. It was very dry, not flavorful and not a good variety. The steakhouse was also a disappointment It was also difficult to get our frig refilled with bottled water and get clean towels for the beach and our room.

    I loved the beach and pool and the staff were very kind and professional.

    Sometimes people come to the hotel and they don't respect the calm and quietness. Screaming sometimes and getting louder while drinking alcohol at the pool. The hotel doesn't have Disco so they use the restaurant at the beach for that. so if you want to be at the beach at night, stargazing or chatting, forget to hear the sound of the beach and the waves.

    We loved the room, very spacious and clean. The bathroom was kinda tiny but good, they provide everything you need for regular bathroom use. The beach always was clean. I spot some employees cleaning the beach in the morning.

    The coffee machines didn't have the ingredients for cappuccino, so it only served the black coffee part and no milk. The beer wasn't cold

    The side pool is great, but it used to be opened until 11PM and this time it was closed by 07:30PM. Beach was amazing!

    Its a la carte restaurants very good service and very good food. Regarding the buffet food, I would like them to have more variety for the different days. As for the rooms, they should be remodeled since the bathrooms are not in a good condition, mainly the bathtubs. Giving more maintenance to the pools was great. But my family and I had a very nice time.

    The great hotel staff, the charisma and love of home one in the different departments was something unique. Valentina in circle one, Franklin in the pool bar, Angelina in the buffet, warkerlin in hotel service and Mariorqui in the entertainment department. All of them were great. I liked to see that the beach bar is open 24 hours which I had never seen in another hotel, it was something that caught my attention, also that they have food.

    My boyfriend and I were a little disappointed with the room we got. The room they give us was not what they showed us online. When we told them we weren’t happy with the room they told us the room they put online are for VIP. I asked for a king size bed they gave us a double full bed.

    First of all, I liked how kind all the workers were I don’t remember their names but there’s a lady at the front desk with a beautiful haircut, her costumer service is wonderful! Beside that I love the beautiful views of the gardens, the beautiful beach and the nice restaurants

    In my view, the attention at the reception desk was terrible. The man who received me was was rude and inflexible when I asked to be able to check out 45min late in order to use their own spa facilities. The hotel was 30% capacity and he confirmed me there was no guest arriving that day to that room. Yet, he didn’t even considered it. I’d have pay extra if requested. It is a pity, because the other female staff at the desk and the entire staff hotel were very kind. Finally, the buffet at the main restaurant (there was only 1 open) was very poor and I hope it can improve. The best was the fresh fruit and the omelette station. Other than that, it is impossible to find a healthy choice. Lean protein without sauces , veggies ( the “steamed” ones were laying in a pool of liquid) , or good salad bar. The 2 choices at the healthy corner were not appealing at all or tasty. These are actually inexpensive and easy to implement. Just having can, tuna, roasted chicken, nice dry steamed veggies , and a bottle of olive oil and vinagre will be enough.

    The hotel is perfectly located with access to a beautiful beachfront. the staff at the restaurants and beach bars are very nice and accommodating. Although is not a new hotel , it is very well maintained. I liked the pond with trouts, turtles and ducks. I also loved the mariachis.

    The reception, before arriving I was trying to connect with the person in charge of reservations, it didn't connect at all. Before that, I send an email just to confirm my request and I got no response. Accommodation in the room, I request two beds in the room and they change me to a room with one bed. The bathroom was so small that was a bit uncomfortable (I haven't time to take photo) The facade overall of the Villa, it looks a bit old. I think they need to remodeling the complexes, not just maintaining them.

    The arrival was smooth, I was in my car and was able to park within the premise. The reception and the services were fine, it was very crowded that weekend. The room were OK, either way I was expecting something different. The areas were clean and they service try they best to maintaining that way, there were a lot of people and they were always looking to organize and refill everything. The beach was amazing, the Villas have their own space on the beach and you can relax without worrying about people. The food was ok, it was buffet but they include theme every night to change it up a bit.

    The hotel needs to be updated, especially the bathrooms and bedrooms with their lighting and furniture , Lack of variety in the morning breakfast , the most unlikely issue is no free internet .

    Calm and rest away from the bustle , willingness of workers to help, location , and The cleanliness of the hotel facilities and gardens .
