First, there are no TV's in any room. There is no entertainment, they charge you for every bottle of water, egg, anything. They give you 1 little thin jail blanket and they make you feel like you are in jail. They lock the doors, even to the pool area after 10pm until they get up the next morning. They rush you to come back to the hotel in the evening so they can lock up. There was nothing to do there, not even any music. There were no suggestion where to go for any night entertainment and it is far from any type of restaurants or food. They had no lunch nor dinner. I became sick because of the dust mites and the AC and left 2 days early. I had to go to the hospital soon as I got back. They would not refund the 2 nights I did not stay. I would not recommend this place unless you want to go somewhere to read all vacation. And, every night bats would fly around the pool. Also make sure you bring bug spray because the mosquitos or something will eat you up. I would never stay there again nor would i recommend this place to anyone.

Un lugar muy bonito. La habitación estaba muy bien en comodidad, limpieza y ambientación. El patio y la piscina son muy cómodos y se puede pasar metido en el agua o leyendo en los sillones. Comer tanto dentro de la casa o en patio es muy agradable. Muy especialmente recomiendo los desayunos. El personal, tanto de la gerencia como de atención diaria, son muy cracks, amables, brindan soluciones a las consultas de los clientes y el trato es respetuoso, cordial, afectivo. La casa es muy bonita, los espacios internos son amplios y cómodos. El patio, la piscina y el frente, en cualquiera de ellos se puede descansar, conversar, comer. Vayan si tienen oportunidad.
