This pool in the picture does not belong to that hotel. It goes to some other property. They do not offer free shuttle rides like advertised. We has very vague communication since they don't like to answer the phone and they told use to take a taxi. The room in the picture was actually a room that seemed very dated. They were no where near a beach you had to walk a few blocks and there was construction around the property. The bathroom was small and it looked old and danty. The pool was small and looked very mediocre. I was not happy and went to another hotel. The manager at the hotel tried to offer me another room but she wasn't understanding the services weren't met and that nothing from the advertisement is what it seems. They didn't have air conditioning as well. I was not impressed.

O hotel é bonito e confortável. Cama e roupão de qualidade, tv sem sistema smart, atendimento simpático dos funcionários. Todavia, o hotel não vale o preço pago. Fiquei uma diária apenas para comemorar meu aniversário, tendo ficado anteriormente em outro hotel da ilha. O serviço all inclusive é fraco demais. Contudo, San Andres carece de bons hotéis.

A estrutura do hotel é boa, mas, quando chegamos, não tinha água quente e, quando saímos, estavam com falta d'água (o que pode ser um problema de infraestrutura da ilha, não sei). Algumas das pessoas da equipe eram muito solícitas (um salve para a Camila!) e nos ajudaram; já outras agiram de má vontade. O sinal de Wi-Fi era bem ruim e não funcionava bem no celular da minha irmã - simplesmente, não conectava. Os drinks eram impossíveis de tomar, sendo muito fortes, e a cerveja estava sempre quente. Não tínhamos a opção de pedir para não limparem o quarto (só falando com as moças da limpeza, que nem sempre encontrávamos) e achei um desperdício de recursos trocarem as toalhas todos os dias - por mim, não havia necessidade. A localização do hotel, porém, é excelente. E a comida é ok.
