"👍- The reception staff were extremely attentive. Parking at the hotel, good breakfast. 👎 The double bed was very small, making it difficult to sleep peacefully. We requested a room change but were told that small beds are standard for the hotel. The bathroom had old equipment. The flush system was very old and generated a lot of water waste.”"

"This property was recently renovated. Although the room is small, its quite cute and it has Sugarloaf Mountain view. Sad that there is no bidet in their toilet but I will forgive them since their toilet is clean. I find the hotel price a bit expensive for a basic hotel like them. They should provide at least continental breakfast set for that."

5/5 Excellent

"I loved my stay here. Because it’s high season, we didn’t get to extend our stay but Mayra and the staff were so helpful. They let us use the hospitality room to wash up after the beach. And they let us keep our luggage for a few hours because our flight was in the evening. The breakfast was super good and the staff were very nice and kind. Jonatan was also very nice, always saying hi and asking us if we needed anything. Everyone in the reception area was helpful. I needed to print something and they helped me with the matter. The room was kept clean and house keeping was great! Overall I think it’s an excellent hotel. I wished the pool was bigger but there’s a beach right across the street so that’s not a problem. I will definitely stay here again and I’m so happy I picked this property. It’s also centered where there’s restaurants and establishments all around. I will suggest to book the breakfast because it was so good and worth it (in my opinion). Honorable mention to Mayra who checked us in and was very helpful and pleasant. Also to Jonatan. Marcos helped us with our luggage and he was nice as well. Stay here for a pleasant experience! "
