"Excelente opción para quedarse, el hotel es lindo, muy bien ubicado, personal muy atento, excelentes servicios. Tienen un lugar con microondas, café, agua caliente, para lavar. Además de café y agua a disposición permanente. Lo único "malo" es que no tiene la opción de desayuno en el hotel. Pero existen muchas opciones muy cerca."

"It was a really great overnight stay. The food at the Club for dinner was kind of weird and so was our server, but she was friendly enough. Dinner was over priced for sure based on what they served, but the view was fantastic. Breakfast was served in the same waterfront restaurant, and was free, which was perfect. Nice beach area. Clean rooms. Super friendly and helpful staff in the front office and concierge. Overall, good stuff."
