Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

Property is dated but clean. Very sparse in decor, no pictures on the wall. The location is good and convenient to the beach. We purchased the Full Board option but the food was pretty gross and the fact you have assigned times to eat felt very limiting. It wasn't ideal to plan our day around when we could eat. We ended up not eating there but there is an excellent restaurant just steps away. Overall, I'd give the property a 3.5 out of 5. Staff weren't very friendly or helpful. I don't think we'd return b/c it is was very loud with music going well into the night.

Short family stay

It was very clean and like new, and the room service was great. But there was a refrigerator in the room that was not working purposely, as they said it could only be used for a cooler. There was no ice, and you can’t drink the tap water, they wanted you to buy your drinking water! Insane! Also, there was no parking, and we had to park 2 miles away from the hotel to find street parking. The beach is very nice, and more quiet then the southern part, the water is prettier also. I wouldn’t stay again, Too much of a hassle with kids.

Lots of amenities! Right across the beach, you can hear the waves from your room. There’s a spa, there’s umbrella/chairs on the beach that you can pay for, a pool (indoor and out), food within hotel and a few independent restaurants near. staff is great, food for lunch/dinner is OK in my opinion but breakfast is pretty good. Regardless, their buffet options are pretty large and can accommodate any diet (vegetarian, gluten free….)

Sólo para familias

Es un hotel viejo mucho más orientado a las vacaciones familiares por lo cual está muy grande y con mucha gente. No tiene nada memorable. El cuarto aunque amplio y limpio tenía problema de almohadas ya que sólo hay una almohada grande para la cama lo que es bastante incómodo. Camas duras. No cuentan con servicio de toallas para la playa, son con un costo extra. Desayuno suficiente para cantidad de gente que maneja el hotel pero nada especial.
