The hotel was very outdated but clean. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The food service was ok. If you want to be right on Spratt Bight beach it was right there but the beach is very crowded and the hotel is in a very noisy area especially at night time.

Run down and disappointing
The reception is disorganised and painfully slow. The rooms are stark, outdated and rundown. There was a loud drunken party of bad karaoke all night long.

So average
A very average hotel . Dated , tired and very basic . Give a wide berth if after a quiet stay as more family orientated with entertainment and music til early hours . Staff are very friendly in general but training in customer service has been lacking . Restaurant in particular needs review as I’ve seen commented on in other reviews Like I said at start - very average

Good but could be Better
This was our second hotel on the island for the last half of our trip. The front desk staff staff (Mostly Gemma) was absolutely on point and extremely friendly with the added plus that she spoke English. The location is perfect as just outside is the main area for the beaches, shops, and boardwalk. We had breakfast and dinner included in our stay and felt the food was acceptable. Our only complaint with the dining is the Service from the dining staff. Smiles were non-existent and it was awkward at times to request beverages etc--definitely something that can be improved!! Our room was very small and due to a booking mistake did not have a balcony or view to the sea. The front desk tried to change rooms for us, but stated there was no availability--a bit odd since online there did appear to be sea view rooms available. Aside from the couple of comments above, it was a good stay and we would likely try again on our next visit to San Andres....only after confirming ahead of time that a SEA VIEW room is ready for us.

Nice hotel in front of the beach and shopping area
The hotel is very nice, staff is very polite and helpful. It has an excellent ballet that performs excellent shows every night next to the pool or on a nearby hotel of the same owners where you can go. Location is excellent, across a really nice pedestrian street you have the beach. That street is full of people all day and youngsters gather there at night (a bit noisy if you stay in a room facing the sea). It is in the middle of the shopping area which is mostly pedestrian only streets, a really nice place to walk. It has a kids place beside the entrance, outside the hotel. Meals are OK but mostly local food. International food only in snack times (pizza, fries, hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, nuggets, etc.) Internet connection is free but it is really slow. Really hard to download and upload WhatsApp images for example.
