Wins:
- Location: You are directly on the ocean, with a great view and an awesome spot to enjoy the ocean breeze. You are within walking distance of El Centro and our personal favorite, the Malecon (walking path on the east side of the island).
- Staff: All staff were great.
- Breakfast: We paid to have breakfast included. It was enjoyable each morning with an option to have a little variety. They do have a $40 pesos per person charge for your server, even after you pay for breakfast to be included.
- Room: The room was nice and clean. The rooms are very large, which is nice, but they could benefit from having a small kitchenette with a microwave.
Opportunities:
- Noise: As others have shared, noise can be a factor from other rooms. For two nights of our stay, the guests next to us set an alarm for 5:00 am and we heard the buzzing of their phone go off for 10 minutes each time, before the alarm would time itself out. Not the ideal way to wake up each morning on a relaxing vacation.
- Seating on the balcony: Two chairs were available on our balcony, but they weren't particularly comfortable for long sittings. The balconies would benefit from adding a small table so you could eat, play cards, etc. and two loungers to lean back, nap, and enjoy the ocean sounds. The four loungers by the pool, fill up quickly and people tend to camp at them for the day.
- Flood Light at Parador Fotográfico was extremely bright and points direct at the hotel. Bring an eye mask.
