We were within walking distance of restaurants, shops & the BEACH. I didn’t enjoy the breakfast so much we were told if we order pancakes couldn’t get eggs or vice versa! But next door had great menu. Nobody really spoke alot of English so have your translation ready. Overall I enjoyed it.

My recent stay at this hotel was quite average, deserving of a 3-star rating. While the location was convenient and the rooms were generally clean, there were a few issues that affected my overall experience. One of the more frustrating aspects was the air conditioning situation. The hotel has controlled settings, meaning you don't have full control over the temperature in your room. After returning from a long day out, I found my room uncomfortably hot. It wasn’t until I called the front desk that the situation was addressed. It’s an inconvenience that could be easily avoided if guests were given control of their own room temperature. Another issue arose at checkout when I was asked if I had taken anything from the mini-bar, despite it being completely empty when I checked in. It was a small thing, but it added to the feeling that attention to detail was lacking. However, the most significant and unsettling experience during my stay was when new guests were mistakenly checked into my room in the middle of the night. I was already asleep when I was abruptly awoken by the sound of people entering the room. The hotel had given them keys to my room without realizing it was already occupied. This was not only inconvenient but made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. While the hotel did apologize for this mistake, it left a lasting negative impression. For these reasons, I can only give this hotel an average rating of 3 stars. It has potential, but these issues, partic

brand new hotel. restaurant was still under construction when i stayed. would have been an excellent stay but my room had no natural light. make sure to book a room with a street view. interior view will have you looking at a wall and feeling like you’re in a prison cell.

This hotel has only been open for 7 months, unfortunately we were not informed that it's actually still under construction. The construction noise was very loud. The noise is prevalent en all rooms. Also the central air conditioning for the room is not controlled in the room, you have to call reception for temperature changes. Another issue was that the lights and the ventilation for the bathroom cannot be turned off.

The only complaint I have is the noise early morning that the hotel staff make outside of your room. Also you can hear people from the next door doing you know what but that doesn’t last for long. If you have trouble with your Spanish or need help with anything, ask for jimmy he takes good care of you.

The property was fully renovated. On Thursday and Friday there was active construction, taking place in the hotel, which disturbed my sleep even after notifying the front desk I was not aware of active renovations, taking place on Expedia.
