Reviews and Ratings
Despite the fully equipped rooms that may not be ideal for someone with claustrophobia, the hotel offers high-quality towels and linens and is conveniently located close to restaurants and the beach. The service is a mix of great attention to location and a somewhat distant attitude, but the staff is friendly and efficient. The dining options may require planning, but are good value overall.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were great, clean, and comfy, with a kitchen equipped with a fridge and stove top. The TV with cable and free wifi were a nice touch, and I enjoyed the pool right on the beach. However, the pool is smaller and has a different layout than expected.
This hotel is a real gem located between The Ritz and LaPlaya, offering a comfortable stay with a full kitchen. The cleanliness is exceptional, but the frequent early room cleanings might not suit late risers.
