This is one of the cleanest hotels I've stayed at. Staff worked non stop to make sure it looked good.
I liked that it is not a huge hotel. To walk from your room to the pools, beach, or the restaurants does not take 20 minutes. Our room to the beach was probably four minutes. The ocean, however, is about a block away. You can see the ocean, feel the breeze off it, but it takes a bit of walking to get to it. In the photos of the hotel, the ocean looks close, but it isn't.
The food was always hot and fresh. The bars do not water down drinks. Fantastic!
Staff was very friendly and helpful. We do not speak Spanish and we found out very quickly who spoke English and who didn't. A translating app is needed if you need to talk to staff and you don't know Spanish.
Around the hotel, we felt safe walking. Unfortunately, there isn't much to do in the area. The hotel is surrounded by condos and if you want to go anywhere you will be taking a taxi. A round trip taxi will be $25.00 Canadian minimum. We went to the Malecon boardwalk and it was $60.00 round trip.
We went over Easter, and there were lots of families there with their kids of all ages. Lots of families having fun in the pools. Keep that in mind if you are wanting a quieter holiday.
Beach vendors did come by of course, but if you said no thank you, they didn't keep bothering you.
The hotel is close to the airport which is one of the reasons we booked it.
