No beach view from my room … had some issues with leaking shower also not enough counter space in the bathroom & most importantly there was no fridge available in the room & when staying 14 nights it’s important to have that. My bed was comfortable & the maid service was great.

I feel that booking through Expedia does not provide a standard room. We were put in a place that allowed entry for birds and hundreds perched outside our room. We walked through droppings the exit our room. The restaurant was very good and pool was as well

The rooms are very dirty. Housekeeping never washed the floors and bathroom. All furniture was thick with dust. First room we had was like a prison cell with a night light always on. 2nd room was great but dirty. Staff are always pleasant. With some extra care this hotel could be a great place. Big problem with birds and pooing everywhere. Can’t be healthy.

The room was clean, traditional Mexico style. The location is really good, walking distance to everything you need. The restaurant looked nice and there’s a small pool on the top floor. Bring earplugs, as it’s very loud at night. We got what we paid for.
