La atención esmerada y cálida. La comida exquisita. La alberca muy cuidada. La mayoría de las habitaciones tienen vista al mar. Se puede celebrar ahí cumpleaños, aniversarios y otros. Además tienen agua de coco muy sabrosa

El lugar está hermoso, y tranquilo... Las habitaciones no son de lujo, para aquellos que piensan que es de 5 estrellas no lo es, tiene sus detalles, pero la realidad lo que importa es disfrutar el paisaje y la paz que encuentras, eso sí, la red wifi muy pésima así que.. o llevas datos o activas tu plan. El restaurante no ahí mucha variedad, pero cuando vas a disfrutar, la verdad no son limitantes, gente llega a ofrecer alimentos o sales y buscas cerca.

Agradecidamente es la 3° vez que mi familia y yo nos hospedamos en este hotel, un buen trato por parte de los dueños y trabajadores, la alberca siempre limpia, las habitaciones muy amplias y limpias, lo único es que hay hormigas pero normal yo llevo mi repelente para insectos y se pasa una buena noche, asi que si super recomendado el hotel, esperemos nos sigan recibiendo con los brazos abiertos y con mucho cariño en las próximas vacaciones

Nuestra estadía fue de 6 días (7 de junio al 12 de junio). Mi esposo ya conocía este hotel de hace varios años y fue muy placentera nuestra estancia. Excelente servicio y el staff del hotel es muy amable. La suite con king size es muy espaciosa. La alberca está bien cuidada y tienes la playa a unos pasos junto con camastros. Todo está muy bien cuidado. El restaurante ofrece varios platillos, es muy rico desayunar ahí. Sin duda regresaré el siguiente año. Si quieres vacacionar tranquilo, sin tanta gente y con un servicio de 10 te recomiendo este hotel

Muy bonito y tranquilo, a buen precio, las habitaciones muy amplias y cómodas,solo que la limpieza no muy buena en el baño en la regadera había mucho moho y no que estuviera pegado, si no que no tiene el cuidado de limpiar las paredes de la regadera. Ubicación me parece una una buena ubicación, vista al mar super bonita, su alberca está muy padre. En comida del mismo hotel la verdad está muy rica, se tardan un poquito pero es porque todo te lo hacen al momento y eso está super bien, en precio un poquito elevado pero lo vale por la calidad de los alimentos La recepcionista una chica muy agradable y amable. Pero la chica que te hace pedido de comida un poco apática. Lugar tranquilo para disfrutar en familia

Excelente lugar para pasar unas bonitas vacaciones, a muy buen precio y con habitaciones cómodas. Alberca muy amplia y limpia, con dos chapoteaderos, de fácil acceso a la playa. Cuenta con dos palapas para poder consumir alimentos, incluso se pueden asar ahí, si se lleva parrilla. Bonito y tranquilo lugar con personal muy amable que atiende tus necesidades si algo se requiere. Muy recomendable
