Average stay

In summary this hotel is not a $700 per night resort. The condition, cleanliness, amenities, gym, rooms were just very average. Would not return or recommend. Had so many issues with room keys working. Every day we had to go and get new keys. Also, there is nothing for entertainment or actives after 6:30pm.

This was a wonderful property, very clean and modern. The best part was the staff: Javier is the most helpful and beautiful soul I have ever met (reception), Jesus and Camila at the reception are very kind and helpful. Rodrigo at the aquatic is awesome and took great care of us. He arranged a boat for us to go island hoping which was the most incredible experience (Daniel and Pablo were the guides on the boat and were incredible). The whole experience at this hotel is a paradise dream.
