Great trip
The hotel was great, so clean and polite staff. Beautifully landscaping over looking the ocean. The weather was great the whole trip really enjoyed my staf. The two cons, the food was mediocre and distance to cities was long

Buena estancia, pero puede mejorar.
Deben mejorar un poco el mantenimiento en general del hotel, de las tuberías del lavamanos sale un poco de mal olor, la regadera tarda un poco en bajar el agua.

Buena experiencia puede mejorar.
En general la experiencia no estuvo mal, solo hay detalles que arreglar, mantenimiento general del hotel, de las tuberías del lavamanos sale un poco de mal olor y el agua de la ducha bajaba muy lento por eso se empozaba.
