The staff was amazing and location was perfect, central to everything. Breakfast was good.
The staff was very friendly. Breakfast was really good. It’s very accessible to all attractions, most taxis are only $3 fares to most attractions in the walled city. Really enjoyed staying there.
This was a great stay for the price. It was very clean, up to date, and in a walkable area. Close to beaches, 6 min ride to wall city and cruise port. It's next to grocery store. Only thing staff didn't tell me the drinks in the fridge wasn't free. 😂
(Guess I'm used to all-inclusive when I do beaches)
Good points: iron availabilite with no extra charge, large rooms and safe box in the room.
Bad points: no hot water for first 10 minutes, very basic breakfast ( slice of watermelon and slice papaya or omelette) with small portions; airconditon controlled by reception only (you need to call to change the temperature).
The only complaint I have is the noise early morning that the hotel staff make outside of your room. Also you can hear people from the next door doing you know what but that doesn’t last for long. If you have trouble with your Spanish or need help with anything, ask for jimmy he takes good care of you.
Brand new place so everything is nice. No luxury, but all you need, comfortable beds, ample shower space, good hot water/cold control. Toilet pressure could be higher. Good breakfast. I wonder if when it starts getting more people if a buffet will be faster and more convenient. For now is fast enough. Service experience was pretty good. Hope it stays like that. They could have more international channels such as news in English. AC is not controlled by you in the room but it was decent. Ask for a second room key so you can keep the room cool because if you remove the key the AC turns off.
Family friendly-very clean room-close to the beach-main street
The hotel looks like new.
