    No hot water. 👎

    This place was a disappointment. We arrived at 4 pm and still had to wait about 40 minutes for our room to be ready. Also, on the day of arrival, you won't have the option to eat in the hotel unless they have left over space in the Italian restaurant. We tried the Meats restaurant and the Seafood restaurants as well, you will have to wake up at 7am to make reservations at this restaurants which were not good and with little meal options. The meat was very hard and chewy. The seafood was also not very good. Lots of their dishes have soy sauce. They only had the most cheap national liquor, and they served the drinks in little old plastic cups. I also did not enjoy not having hot water in the rooms. If you want to do the Baru day pass, you'll have to get in line before 7am, same thing if you want to use the beach chairs and umbrellas. I do not recommend this hotel. The personal is very nice.

    The worst Experience! Old hotel

    The worst experience. If I had a zero I would give it a zero. The facilities are old, and they never give it maintenance. It's horrible. The keys are old, old, and they only give you one key. The air conditioning was damaged. If you come from abroad there are many better options. The food is very average, nothing special. There is a lot of noise, and the lobby is always full. I will never go back.

    Don’t expect to get a room until night

    Worst hotel, long lines, they do not respect check in times so you wont get a room any time close to the check in, pools are overcrowded and there are not enough seats. If you are an international travel please stay away from this place, else you’ll spend precious time trying to get basic amenities and waste precious vacation time not to mention your patience.

    Not What You Think

    First it is NOT on beach it is across from beach and hotel looks like a resort from outside but once inside you will see it is an old outdated hotel with small rooms and you hear everything from outside. There is no security in your room other than a latch over your door there is no deadbolt or anything. You can't control your air conditioning it is central. Staff is not hospitable and if you don't speak Spanish your in trouble cause there is no English and pool is very small and area is not clean. I highly suggest that you don't stay here.
