The staff was very friendly. Breakfast was really good. It’s very accessible to all attractions, most taxis are only $3 fares to most attractions in the walled city. Really enjoyed staying there.

brand new hotel. restaurant was still under construction when i stayed. would have been an excellent stay but my room had no natural light. make sure to book a room with a street view. interior view will have you looking at a wall and feeling like you’re in a prison cell.

The property was fully renovated. On Thursday and Friday there was active construction, taking place in the hotel, which disturbed my sleep even after notifying the front desk I was not aware of active renovations, taking place on Expedia.

This was a great stay for the price. It was very clean, up to date, and in a walkable area. Close to beaches, 6 min ride to wall city and cruise port. It's next to grocery store. Only thing staff didn't tell me the drinks in the fridge wasn't free. 😂
(Guess I'm used to all-inclusive when I do beaches)

Good points: iron availabilite with no extra charge, large rooms and safe box in the room.
Bad points: no hot water for first 10 minutes, very basic breakfast ( slice of watermelon and slice papaya or omelette) with small portions; airconditon controlled by reception only (you need to call to change the temperature).

This hotel has good potential. But it’s not finished yet. No pool, no gym, but it will definitely be really nice when finished.

It was a nice hotel but without a pool, without having a restaurant for meals other than breakfast, no iron, no laundry service and the shower was cold but we still had good experience but there is room for improvement

The only complaint I have is the noise early morning that the hotel staff make outside of your room. Also you can hear people from the next door doing you know what but that doesn’t last for long. If you have trouble with your Spanish or need help with anything, ask for jimmy he takes good care of you.

Hotel is clean and new. Rooms and bathrooms are nice. Great place to stay unless you need to sleep. No sleep possible most nights. Incredibly loud music and earth shattering beats most nights until 4am. Luckily for us, Sat night, beats were dropping hard until 6:30am. The windows stopped shaking as the sun rose up.

Not ready yet
This hotel has only been open for 7 months, unfortunately we were not informed that it's actually still under construction. The construction noise was very loud. The noise is prevalent en all rooms. Also the central air conditioning for the room is not controlled in the room, you have to call reception for temperature changes. Another issue was that the lights and the ventilation for the bathroom cannot be turned off.

Brand new place so everything is nice. No luxury, but all you need, comfortable beds, ample shower space, good hot water/cold control. Toilet pressure could be higher. Good breakfast. I wonder if when it starts getting more people if a buffet will be faster and more convenient. For now is fast enough. Service experience was pretty good. Hope it stays like that. They could have more international channels such as news in English. AC is not controlled by you in the room but it was decent. Ask for a second room key so you can keep the room cool because if you remove the key the AC turns off.
