Bad rooms
This is a terrible so called 4 star property. The beds in room are extremely uncomfortable with smoke smell all over. Wifi is choppy and you have to go to reception area for better coverage. I would easily rate it as a 2 star hotel and wouldn’t recommend if you are looking for a truly 4 star hotel experience.

My room only had conditioner but not shampoo, the night lamp didn't work and the TV had a plug with light bothering my sleep all night long, not to mention the water bomb working every five mins. Location isn't bad but overall has a lot of room for improvement.

I really enjoyed my stay here! The rooftop pool was my favorite they have the best pina colodas lol. I love how the beach was literally 2 blocks away. There was also plently of restaurants and shopping walking distance to the hotel which was helpful. Its a great location for pickups for your excursions as well.The breakfast buffet in the morning was satisfying and food on the rooftop was great for late snacks. My room was always cleaned well and i loved the shower/bathroom in the room. My only issue was the wi fi barely worked in my room so I went through my data quickly. Besides that all good for the price, will use again!

The rooftop pool and the staff are the highlight of this hotel for me. The hotel itself is pretty average, nothing special. On our first night we were put one floor 1 which was a complete catfish but after asking for a room change, the staff were extremely accommodating in switching rooms! Our stay was much more pleasant after this. The property could use some work but it does the job and is clean but basic. The staff were amazing and so friendly! Special shout out to Leandre-Cruz at reception as he truly made our stay wonderful. He was very helpful in providing recommendations and assistance and was just overall a fabulous person to chat to! He made our stay much better!!! Conveniently located on the right of the hotel is a small kiosk for drinks and snacks run by Fabio - highly recommended, great quality and great staff :)
