On the older side and upkeep could be improved. Bare amenities. No gym. No tv. Service at dinner and breakfast was slow and needs improvement.

The staff were very friendly and good at their jobs. The food was good.

Unfortunately this hotel faces the dreaded Cholon party scene. And its every day from 10-4. Thumping non stop. This is not the place to relax, during peak season it goes beyond unbearable. The rooms are fine, nothing unique about them, good enough. The facilities and "beach" is fine too. Again great great food even better than Islas Hotel but the music is unbearable ##### Luis Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cristian Nov 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Quiet and right on the beach ##### Cristian Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Daira Esther Aug 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort No se porque había muchas moscas Llovió y se mojó el baño, en la noche lo cual es peligroso Se sentían ruidos en el techo, parecían gatos ##### Daira Esther Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Carlos Aug 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It is a nice place to relax, there is no TV. Only one menu option and nothing really nearby to have a bit so the hotel's menu is basically your only choice. Prices are high in my opinion, the food is good. Staff friendly, although not like in other destinations we have been to, particularly in Mexico. The little beach of the hotel is very nice. I would not recommend anyone to stay more than 3 days, at least I wouldn't normally do that. ##### Carlos Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Shauna Jul 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really nice hotel. A little disappointed that, while our check in was delayed 30 minutes, we had to be out immediately at noon. Also, it was crowded. ##### Shauna Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Patrick May 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Ok, so you come to this place for three things...the food, the level of service and the solitude. Those 3 things can't be beat. The food is out of this world! The rooms need some TLC, and a pool would be nice. That being said, I would return here in a heartbeat. In fact, I plan on it. In all transparency, Im not an animal person so would do away with the pet-friendly part, but have to say I was not personally hindered by the small dogs that were present. I can just see somebody thinking it appropriate to bring large or aggressive dogs. ##### Patrick Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yvette Mar 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Glad we decided to stay at Hotel Aura while visiting Barù. The grounds were perfect for 5 days and 4 nights of relaxation and water activities. When not laying out on the comfy beachside beds, we booked a tour and visited islands, participated in the yoga class, and kayaked. Service in general was slower-paced than we are used to in the states, but that is a good thing. Staff were really fun and accommodating of our group. Looking forward to returning. ##### Yvette Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Plantation Bay Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Lapu-Lapu-Hotels-Plantation-Bay-Resort-And-Spa.h375155.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel St. Michael, BW Premier Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Prescott-Hotels-Hotel-St-Michael.h9701324.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bowen Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Bowen-Island-Hotels.d6155860.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels.0-n6057934-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Aparthotel Adagio Muenchen City](https://www.expedia.ca/Munich-Hotels-Aparthotel-Adagio-Muenchen-City.h3928067.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Sheraton-Vancouver-Guildford-Hotel.h21934.Hotel-Information) > > [Crazy Creek Resort & Hot Pools](https://www.expedia.ca/Malakwa-Hotels-Crazy-Creek-Resort-Hot-Pools.h12934433.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Hotel & Suites Williams Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/100-Mile-House-Hotels-Sandman-Hotel-Suites-Williams-Lake.h494.Hotel-Information) > > [Motels Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Motels.d178245-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Cheap Hotels in Laval](https://www.expedia.ca/Laval-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d7801-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Disneyland® Paris](https://www.expedia.ca/Disneyland-Paris-Hotels.0-l6035062-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton Lake Buena Vista - Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-Lake-Buena-VistaOrlando.h2479503.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Red Deer](https://www.expedia.ca/Red-Deer-Hotels.d6139537.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Thunder Bay (YQT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/yqt/hamilton-to-thunder-bay) > > [Lufthansa](https://www.expedia.ca/Lufthansa-Flights.cLH.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/las/detroit-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Pensacola (PNS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/pns/montreal-to-pensacola) > > [Flights from Minneapolis - St. Paul (MSP) to Houston (IAH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/msp/iah/minneapolis-to-houston) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/lhr/ottawa-to-london) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Athens (ATH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ath/vancouver-to-athens) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to South Glengarry (YCC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ycc/toronto-to-cornwall) > > [Flights from Medicine Hat (YXH) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxh/yyc/medicine-hat-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to St. John's (YYT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/yyt/halifax-to-st-johns) > > [Flights from Iqaluit (YFB) to Whitehorse (YXY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yfb/yxy/iqaluit-to-whitehorse) > > [Flights from Bellingham (BLI) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bli/yyz/bellingham-to-toronto) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Pearson-Intl.d5921113.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Mississauga](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Mississauga.d7954.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Cap Cana Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Cap-Cana.d6094599.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Kingston Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston.d6057821.Destination-Travel-Guides)
