"Great rooms for a family of 5, Staff was very helpful and will help you get taxi if you don’t have a vehicle already for transport. not too far from airport. Definitely would stay here again."
"Attention at front desk was terrible. Was handed hidden fees. The place smelled like pee when we arrived. The room we received was not the one we got. The place is beautiful but it's not given the proper care in order to charge what they are charging per night. They need to get their act together. Incredibly dissappointed. I would ask for a refund on the room differential and the hidden fee charged, but this place is not worth a single extra minute of hassle."
"El hotel esta muy bien solo que hay muchas moscas en la zona por lo que no puedes dejar las ventanas abiertas. En general estaba limpio pero se ve que no revisan los cajones cuando salen los huéspedes porque encontré palomitas y sal cuando llegue."
"This was a last minute addition to our trip so we could be near the airport and wow was it a great surprise. Very friendly staff, great breakfast and a beautiful air conditioned room with views and a pool. Close to restaurants and shopping and cafes and churches. We would stay here again."
