Avoid at all costs

Do not stay here under any circumstances. No wi fi. No hot water. Beds are rock hard. Air con unit is so loud it made me jump every time it turned on. Stains all over bathroom. This place has clearly not had a cent invested in it in decades. Sleeping under a bridge is preferable to this place.

El personal es excelente, desde recepción , los empleados de el restaurante (barra) el joven que mantiene limpio los alrededores, en fin todos. Es un lugar acogedor q cuenta con dos piscinas (una para los niños pequeños y otra para los adultos y jovenes) cancha de baloncesto y volleyball. Le hace falta cariño al edificio como tal , el area de la piscina esta disponible hasta las 12media noche q es muy bueno.

It’s nothing like the photos. The pool was dirty and had 3 dog poop around it. The room was dated and smelly. It smelled like mold. It made me feel sick. The surroundings are abandoned and it’s isolated. A lot a dogs walking around. The place overall looks abandoned. We checked in at 3:30pm, went to the pool 15 minutes, walked around a little bit and the 4 of us showered and I I was checked out by 5pm. It was non refundable so I lost my money. $120 for an hour and a half of frustration. DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE. The only good thing was that the receptionist was friendly, but nothing more.
