Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The fantastic proximity to the beach and excellent service were remarkable. However, the room facing a busy road and noisy bar dampened my experience a bit. The location and helpful staff definitely stood out.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The location is superb, right on the beach, and there are plenty of seating options. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was caring and attentive. However, I found the rooms a bit basic without a mini-fridge or coffee maker, which was a minor inconvenience. The hotel is a great value for money.
The hotel is ideally located right in front of Playa Hermosa beach, offering a superb setting to relax, enjoy drinks, dine, and watch the sunset. The rooms, although clean and well-serviced by the great staff, faced some noise issues from the road and a lively bar nearby. The lack of ventilation made the rooms accumulate unpleasant smells during the day, requiring some time for the AC to freshen the air upon return.
