The property location is perfect. The staff is not friendly or helpful in any way. The front desk- you will have to wait 15 min or longer to ask a question, even if you are the only person in the lobby. The restaurant, no one is there eating and several staff standing around talking but will not acknowledge customers. The pool area is always trashed with food, trash, wet towels. There is staff standing around talking but no one cleaning up the area. The beach is nice and the folks that work on the beach do a nice job with the chairs and equipment. Next time we will look into other resorts.

3 cockroaches found in room and stench coming out of bathroom since day 1. Charged for amenities that should be included in the nightly rate. Restaurant was expensive, food was mid, and portions were very small. I've stayed at hotels in Mexico that are far better than this hotel. Will not come back.

Inconsistent

This hotel had the hopes of being a great stay, but the word that comes to mind is inconsistent. The $20 breakfast was average at Best, poolside bar food was OK but they forgot all condiments, silverware or napkins were delivered. The front desk tried to fix the problem of the constantly blinking lights in the room from the Smoke alarm and some mother system but all they did was put blue tape over the lights, which was dumb because we had already covered them with Band-Aids. Had to ask repeatedly for items such as bags for the ice and the ice bucket was the size of a tissue box, and they forgot the do not disturb sign twice so the maid open the door while I was in the shower. The beach crew was great, and the view of course was lovely. But inconsistent just was the theme of the day

This is NOT an upscale hotel although the prices reflect that. The service was below average except for the valet who was too notch.The rooms were decent & were pretty big. If your bringing your dog beware as you have to walk to the front of the property (very hot grounds) just for them to use the bathroom!

I loved how clean and quiet this place is. Being a small building complex helps control the amount of people. The beaches are beautiful. Love how pet friendly it is, but also keep all the rooms neat and clean and not smelling like animals.
