We had booked three nights and it was the third time we visited the hotel within ten years. The hotel staff are very service friendly and the rooms were clean and nice, although a little worn. The location of the hotel is fantastic, right next to a private beach. We had a lovely stay as always❤️

Great hotel for the price. Staff was really friendly. Bar and food were good but service was slow. Great pool and huge sandy beaches. Noise from aircraft is irritating but not constant. Not a lot of outside the resort facilities nearby. Low cost friendly taxis always available. Would recommend for a family vacation spot.

My stay was very good The rooms where clean, lovely and airy The beds comfortable The shower could be updated with a hand held option Option also to have a kettle for tea making in the room will be fantastic. It was difficult getting hot water for tea as the hotel seemed to cater only for coffee drinkers

Compare with the price is very poor room, the pool was not working, we coul get a better place for that price
2-night trip

10/10

Reception for checking in and out was very good. Service at the restaurant was excellent, especially for breakfast, and the food was good. The door to our room needed repair and was tended to quickly once we advised reception. The rooms are a bit dated but comfortable and clean, though the bathroom floor could have been better. One of the pools and the jacuzzi were closed for cleaning during our 3-day stay but the other pool was available and well maintained. Access to the beach is great, as is the service on the beach from the hotel. We will recommend and stay at this hotel again.

En general, la experiencia fue buena y el hotel es cómodo. Solo tuvimos una experiencia maluca con un par de arañas en la habitación y el personal es un poco cerrado a servicios de aplicaciones (aunque avisé antes, no dejaron entrar a un Uber que solicité y tuve que caminar a la portería, y a los repartidores les ponen mucho problema).
1-night trip

2/10

Muy mal. Se tuvo un error en la fecha de selección de la reserva y Hotels.com no ayudo a resolver este error. Es muy grave que castiguen a los clientes del grupo Expedia y se escuden en que el hotel no les ayudo. La plataforma puede reubicar a un nuevo cliente porque son hoteles de alta demanda turística. Eso es traición a un cliente. Pienso en rertirarme como usuario del grupo Expedia y de su filial Hotels.
