I love the facilities. I was not so crazy about the surrounding area. You have to walk about 10 min to get to the plaza and the area that is more active. This city has a great deal of vacant commercial properties and folks hanging out. During the evening I suggest you take a cab to enhance your safety.

Safety is a major concern at this hotel given its location. I would not arrive/leave the hotel unless you take a taxi. I was truly shocked given the rating of the hotel. This is a fine hotel, but don’t expect 4 star quality or safety.

A great hotel i highly recommend 👌

A fantastic 3 night stay here, October 24. A beautifully renovated hotel. Check-in was great. Fast and easy. The staff speak Spanish and English. We had a suite which was spacious for a family of 4. The main bedroom is separated from the area where the kids slept. Comfy beds, balcony over the pool, and a huge bathroom. TV in both rooms kept the kids happy! The pools are lovely with 3 options of pool! The bar and restaurantares great. Service is impeccable, and the food and drink were lovely. Included in the price was a free breakfast, which was very good. And there's very good free Wi-Fi. The locationn is great and very central. 5 minute walk to the seafront and beach. Be careful at night at the area can be a bit sketchy. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and I'd come back here for sure.

Beautiful inside the hotel. However, if you’re traveling alone the couple of blocks from the square to the hotel are very sketchy at night and it didn’t feel safe walking alone. The dehumidifier in my room also became full at 4:45 in the morning and beeped incessantly until I turned it off, making for a terrible night sleep.

Beautiful hotel with clean, well-designed rooms. Both diner and breakfast were high-quality. Helpful service. We loved the different pool options, including rooftop hot tub. We were approached in a slightly threatening manner by individuals in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, who then began fighting amongst themselves. The hotel itself felt very secure, and we never felt unsafe on the hotel premises.

The staff were amazing and super accommodating. Food was fantastic! Rooms were quiet and comfortable. The facilities were great, with just a few minor issues: 1) our bathroom door didn't close completely -- not a deal breaker for us, but for some it may be. 2) our room was missing a smoke detector. 3) the water from the taps isn't drinkable .There is always water (and coffee!) available in the lobby, so not a major issue, but something that needs to be planned for overnight.
