Several big errors in Expedia’s description of this place. 1) it is **NOT** connected by any kind of shopping center, even though the Expedia site specifically states “connected to Shopping Center”. It cost us $70 in euros return to get a cab to the mall and back! 2) there is ** NOT** “an airport shuttle”, in fact the cab they called charged us $40 for a 5 minute cab ride. Absolutely disgusting!! 3) there is no air conditioning and the rooms desperately need it, they are really stuffy and smell of mildew- and this isn’t even the “hot season” yet in early May, and when you open the windows you get the smell of sewage along with mosquitoes. The staff person on the front desk when we arrived spoke little to no English. We asked for a taxi to the mall, it took 4 times going back inside in 35 mins to ask where it was before anyone showed up and it was a woman in an unmarked car, who spoke zero English, and had to use a translator app. She was nice enough but this seemed really odd. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone English speaking, the area looks very sketchy around the hotel, and not safe. Looking back we should have stayed further away. I doubt a taxi would have cost any more than it did. Tourist gouging at its finest.
