    great location
    noisy street
    cramped room

    The hotel has a fantastic location near the Malecon and the beach, with friendly staff that made the experience enjoyable. However, the room needed better lighting and was a bit cramped. The pool was a lovely spot, but the noise from the street and nearby church bells could be disruptive.

    moldy smell

    The hotel is in a nice area near the

    beach, which was convenient for our daily outings. However, we found the room had a strong moldy smell from the air conditioning. The staff was friendly, and it was a comfortable stay overall but could improve in cleanliness.

    limited kid activities

    Staying here with our kids was fantastic! They loved the pool, and we enjoyed the delicious meals at the cafe. The staff was attentive and made us feel right at home, which is a big plus for a family like ours.

    My children wished there were more kid-friendly activities available.

    convenient location with helpful staff

    The staff at this hotel are genuinely helpful, providing recommendations that enhance your stay. The cleanliness of the room was impressive, with attention to detail making my stay comfortable. Proximity to local shops and restaurants is excellent, especially those tucked away along the vibrant streets. The city view from the room added a unique charm to my experience, with bustling street life just outside.

    Noise from the street can be distracting at times.

    The location was perfect, close to the beach and vibrant nightlife. The staff was always cheerful and helpful. Loved the clean rooms and refreshing pool. Enjoyed authentic meals at the cafe too!

    The WiFi was quite unreliable during our stay, which was frustrating when we needed to stay connected.

    Perfect spot for a solo getaway

    Had a fun time staying here! Super clean room and the staff were super chill and helped me out whenever I needed. Loved hanging out at the bar by the pool, perfect for grabbing a drink. Just a heads up, the room was kinda small. Not a big deal if you’re solo though!
