Ok but not worth the price tag, outdated
Common grounds are beautiful, however it seems that rooms haven’t been updated in many years, and need major improvements. The rooms for 4 are sold on 2 full beds, really hard to sleep for a family of 2 adults and 2 children. It’s completely overpriced for how bad the quality of the rooms currently are. It’s not a 5 star hotel for the price tag. Staff and customer service are excellent.

The property is nice but service is terrible if you need towels or anything delivered to your room it will never get delivered. We were at the pool and they had no towels. Basically the entire hotel had no towels and we were told they were in the laundry. Really don’t expect that from a Marriott.

We had a wonderfulr time at Buenaventura and will come again soon. Our only concern was that the property could use some well deserved repairs. The pool close to the hotel was in disrepair and roof tiles were broken all over the property. We loved the El Faro pool area.

There is so much to do on the property and the proximity to restaurants, beach, and pools is great. We took a shuttle to the other side of the “campus” to eat one night. El Valle an hour up the mountain; would love to come again and check out the area more, fishing, golf, etc.
