The variety of food to eat from is not favorable. It is very clean and the staff are wonderful not enough entertainment. In fact no entertainment except for one woman who sings like a one-man band. I was very bored not having enough to do around the facility only swimming. The bars on the beach are not open except for one, but overall very clean.

The hotel had a resort feel with is 4+ pools, private beach, numerous restaurants, and daily activities. However not all restaurants were open. I wish they'd shared that. The food I dis have there I didn't really enjoy and ventueed back into the city for dinner moat days. Its an older hotel so things could use some updating but it was very clean. I reallly enjoyed my balcony overlooking the Pacific. Picking a room with that amenity is definitely worth it.

Overall I would give this place a 4 out of 5. The staff since my wife and I arrived with our kiddo were nothing but kind and great to us. They catered to my wife’s needs being pregnant also. Only complaint I do have is that during our stay in the 9th floor their was construction going on in the floor below us so their was constant noise for us to relax. In addition one of the restaurants was under construction but they still accommodated and used that menu in Asiana. Great food and atmosphere. Thank yall for a wonderful experience!

Beautiful but limited dining.

Beautiful location. There was construction going on during the day (I had to do a bit of work in my room) which was a bit annoying. Limited dining options, but overall a nice resort. Staff was friendly. Next time I will stay in Casco Viejo.

Unfortunately a number of restaurants on property were closed and staff gave poor information e.g. that the Italian cafe was only closed on Sundays (but it was also closed on Monday). Really not good selection of restaurants for an independent traveler so went off property to eat. It seems that the hotel is basically a tour location
