I had mixed feelings about this hotel. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the Malecon and local shops, and the staff at the pool were incredibly friendly and fun. However, the dining experience left a lot to be desired, with poorly prepared food and limited options. The rooms were clean but noticeably outdated and damp, making my stay less comfortable than I had hoped.

During my stay at the hotel, I found it offers excellent value for money, particularly due to its proximity to the Malecon, making it a quick 10-minute walk to the vibrant area. The rooms were mostly comfortable, although noise from the pool bar could be an issue for families. It was also disappointing to encounter some maintenance problems in the pool area. Overall, it's a lovely place to stay if you appreciate beautiful surroundings and good entertainment, but there were definitely a few hiccups.
