Hotel is not far from the airport. Only one block from the beach. Very nice area. Lots of bars and restaurants, near banks and convenient stores. I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. Staff was excellent. Improvements: Maybe the breakfast. It was fine but they kept running out of items and not replaced quickly.

They should improve the basic amenities as they dont provide shampoo, nor do they have towels for the beach especially considering there is no pool. Additionally, there was no hair dryer, and they should also have a mini fridge to allow guests to keep drinks cold. A good thing to mention is that the hotel is very centrally located near shops and close the beach.

The hotel has a mosquito problem, there is a lot of noise in some rooms, the breakfast is adequate, but you must not wait until the last minute. The staff is very friendly, the cost-benefit ratio is little bit high. I had a room change and I have no complaints about the second room, the bathroom is a bit small, but it's not bad. Very close to the beach, it does not have a pool and the photos do not correspond to the state of the rooms.

When we arrived at the hotel, they did not have a room for us. They said they did not show reservation for us, but when I showed them the Expedia confirmation, they said our room was unavailable because it was under construction. They did not have any other rooms. Usually, in my experience, a hotel will do this when they have re-rented your room out at a higher price to someone else. . They did get us a room at their cost at a sister hotel about a half mile away. They called a taxi to take us up there. However, that room was not nearly so nice as the one that we had in the picture Expedia showed at this hotel for our reservation. Also, we finally got to bed about an hour later than we should have because we had to travel up to the other hotel, wait for them to get the accommodation and so forth. At first, GHL Bocagrande acted like they did not have a reservation for us, but when I showed them the Expedia Confirmation, they said The room was unavailable because it was under construction. . I would like a call from Expedia to discuss what to do about this.

Es un lugar frustrante, nada funciona, los empleados son poco serviciales o no entienden. Fue una estancia muy molesta. No había nada que funcionara, ni siquiera salía agua, así que no había aire acondicionado. Ni siquiera me quedé en este hotel. Estaba en mi habitación cuando empezaron las obras y yo estaba durmiendo y descansando, pero no les importaban los huéspedes. Terminé alquilando otro apartamento y mudándome. Ni siquiera me quedé todo el tiempo de mi reserva. Pagué, pero me mudé y no me devolvieron el dinero. Así que no vayas allí.
