Place was very nice and well located. 10 min walk to the Ballena National Park entrance. It was very warm and no fan strong enough to keep windows opened so we had to use air conditioning and leave curtains closed. So we did no feel like staying very long inside. No private exterior area to Relax but there was a great common area with deep pool ! I do recommand if the only thing you need is sleep and shower.

The Hotel is new, modern and clean. It is just a short walk to Ballena National Park beach and a couple of shops and restaurants. It feels a little more like a sharp apartment than a cosy hotel but my two young girls loved splashing around in the small but pretty pool. I would definitely return.

Great apartment. Looked very new, in secure compound. Nice looking pool , though we didn't get use it. We got there too early and the room wasn't ready, but they let us leave the car in their secure car park while we went to the beach waiting for the official check in.
