It's a beautiful property by the beach but the quality of the food is terrible, they use frozen ingredients and cans and I found piece of plastics inside of my food (inside of casamiento) and you have to drive more than half an hour to just find a regular restaurant to eat, you smell of sewer everywhere in the hotel, this smell was in my room and i feel it all 7 days of my stay, I throw up few times at the night and I wasnt able to go to bathroom because of this smell, I asked them to fix it but it was just good for few hours then you smell it again, I asked them to use a air refreshener in my room to help the smell go but they used the bug killer spray in my room and whole night I had pain in my chest and caughed and when i woke up in the morning I saw lots of dead bugs in my room that I found out it wasnt air refreshener because nobody knows English there they use app to translate, it was a terrible experince at front desk and when I was going to order food, nobody understand English and this is terrible for a hotel, lots of people that I saw staying there was local or Spanish people, I saw few tourist and I dont recomend this hotel for tourist. When I reserved the hotel I got %20 off for Spa and I planned to use spa almost everyday but unfortunately they had no spa they said the person that do the spa is sick and she is not gonna come back in few months, then all my plan for relaxing was gone. The staff are very nice but I dont recomend this hotel to no one.

The hotel advertises deluxe rooms as “ocean or pool view,” which it should not do; they should book rooms with different views separately, so customers can know what they would get. I sent the hotel a message with my reservation pleading for an ocean view. The hotel did not respond. When I arrived, I asked hopefully, “Do you have a room for me with ocean view?” The check-in woman responded: “Did you book on Expedia?” When I said yes, she replied “Your room has a pool view” and gave me a look I interpreted to mean “well that’s what happens when you don’t book directly." That makes their advertising here dishonest, if they intend to make only pool view available. Also do not expect to get any VIP benefit offered. I booked in part because of 20% off massages. But after arriving, I asked to book a massage and was told they would not be offering massage during my stay. Another deception. Because of these disappointments, I asked, nicely, to leave a day early and have my last night refunded. They refused, rudely. Also do not book here if looking for a quiet place. They book a lot of large families with young children, and they do not make any of their four pools adults-only. The place itself is nice and in a lovely (though very remote) location. Room interior fine, though not as nice as the pictures. Toilet seat loose, sole toiletry provided is a mini-shampoo tear-open packet. Good breakfast, friendly staff.

Much better than I expected! Booked almost at random, last minute. The photos looked nice so I booked. Wow was I impressed. The grounds are whimsical and interesting and my upgraded room was huge, appointed and spotless. The staff, at least one in five spoke perfect English, are attentive, always smiling and plentiful enough that whenever you turn around someone is nearby to assist. Absolutely superb weekend.
