Expedia’s ratings really misrepresented this one.
The pictures online show a very nice hotel by the beach. It’s actually a poorly maintained condominium (or the like), near a public beach. Entry was *through* a construction site, dirty with construction materials lying around. (We picked up a screw in one of our tires.) The manage’s office was down a narrow, dirt alley. The office is only open limited hours. The fellow who checked us in was nice enough.
Our “garden room” was right next door to the office, right on the alley, with a small patch of grass, a few plants, and a view of the dirt alley and building across from us, It’s charity to call it a garden.
The room was uncomfortable. The bed was uncomfortable. The bathroom was so small, you couldn’t turn around, and the bathroom door was rotted from the bottom.
When we left the next morning, the gate to the alley, for which we didn’t have a pass card, was down. The manager wasn’t there to open it, so I had to carry our luggage back up the dirt road to load it into the car. In the construction site.
We were given a chit to a nearby restaurant, which had the least appealing mangú I’d ever had.
We have pictures documenting this. Except the mangú. You’ll have to take my word on that.
