Belle piscine, rafraîchissante. Grande chambre de 2 grands lits avec belle vue sur la piscine, la lagune et le port. Parking facile soit à l’hôtel ou juste à côté. Beau toit-terrasse pour prendre un verre ou dîner avec musique en live. Hôtel bien situé au bord de l’eau au bout du port. Points négatifs : pas d’ascenseur, accueil et service un peu froids, service lent au petit déjeuner (1h alors qu’il n’y avait personne d’autre dans la salle). Une des fenêtres de la chambre ne fermait pas à clé.

El hotel tiene una linda alberca al lado del estero, su servicio a la alberca fue muy bueno, guacamole delicioso. Sin embargo, el desagüe de la regadera estaba tapado, se encharcaba el agua. La habitación para 3 es amoli pero sólo había una cama king y un sofá cama cuabso bien podrian reemplazar él sofá por otra cama. En general da la impresion de estar un poco abandonado.

Staff are super helpful and friendly, the hotel is spotlessly clean. I really want to leave a good review as they are trying so hard, but there are shortcomings that could easily be addressed. The rooms are pretty basic and a couple of glasses, a hairdryer, extra towels etc would make a huge difference. Restaurant staff need proper training - they try very hard but seem unsure as to what they should be doing. They didn’t offer us the correct breakfast menu or explain options. There wasn’t much choice on the menu but food was ok.

This hotel has potential but missed the Mark in so many ways. Unorganized staff, that you couldn't recognize as staff, no uniforms no name tags, less than hospitable service. Attention was needed during all 4 nights of our stay to cleaning common areas and the pool. The room was clean and beds comfortable. There was a family of raccoons living in the walls of the hotel which we saw come and go from the holes in our patio roof which made it smell and was very noisy at night. The town itself is fabulous, and this hotel has potential if they would make some improvements.

Honestamente el trato que nos dieron fue bueno, lamentablemente para nosotros el día en que llegamos iniciaba la feria de la ciudad y nuestra habitación estaba justo donde se escucha TODOOOOO! A las 11 de la noche tuvimos que pedir que nos cambien de habitación porque nos dijeron que esa fiesta duraba de 10pm a 8am del otro día!!! Y en efecto!! Fue una noche con juegos pirotécnicos TODA LA NOCHE Y MADRUGADA! La verdad mi esposo y yo fuimos a relajarnos y lo último que encontramos fue eso… al menos, no por la noche y por tanto no pudimos descansar. Por otra parte, consideramos que deberían avisar a los clientes que reservan para estas fechas ya que como nos comentan, esto es algo que dura 3/4 días, y para aquellos que reserven en esas fechas, si buscan relajación, es lo último que encontrarán.

En la cena, las copas de vino calientes, el helado que prometido con la tarta inexistentes (según fallo la máquina.
