We chose Hotel Belo’ for our honeymoon because we had stayed here before and truly loved it. Unfortunately, this visit did not live up to our previous experiences.
We were offered an upgrade to a balcony room for an additional $50 per night, which we accepted. While the balcony itself was nice, the room had some notable issues. The walls were extremely thin, and there was an adjoining door to the next room that was not properly sealed—you could actually see light coming through it. This caused significant noise and privacy concerns, which was disappointing, especially on a honeymoon.
The bathroom was also a major letdown. When we arrived, the hot water was not turned on, and we had to ask staff to come and restore it. Even after that, the water pressure was horrible, making showers uncomfortable and frustrating throughout our stay.
The service overall felt like it had declined compared to our previous visit. Staff were polite, but the level of attentiveness was not the same. The menu had also changed, and unfortunately not for the better. The food quality and selection were disappointing compared to what we remembered.
This is really too bad, because we genuinely like this hotel and have fond memories here. This stay simply didn’t meet expectations for such a special occasion. For now, I don’t think we’ll be back for a while, but I do hope the hotel can address these issues and return to the quality it once had.
