Chairs are very uncomfortable almost everywhere on the property. One pool was closed and the other seemed to be under maintainence often (was also sort of murky looking). Guides could have provided a bit more instruction and written notes for the activity times and such would also be helpful. Otherwise it is very peaceful, the staff is super nice and accommodating, and there are activities available. Definitely good value for the price!

En general fue bueno, los alimentos son balanceados, tienen buen menu, los cuartos a pesar de faltarle un poco mas de mantenimiento, son comodos, el servicio de los meseros en la piscina y restaurantes es muy bueno.. lo unico a mejorar es la actitud de las dos mujeres q trabajan en recepción, les falta ser mas amables y tener mas actitud de servicio.. en general mi estadia fue buena.. es importante aclarar que el hotel no tiene una buena playa para pasar el día.. caminando 20 min hay buenas playas para pasar el día.
