the staff was wonderful. the rooms were basic but clean. there no is area to really sit around the pool. we were also told that we were not allowed to visit in our rooms though we were all guests. a family member had the penthouse and we were told we could not visit though we were all paying guests and all together we had rented 5 rooms. when looking at policy it states visitors but we were all guests of the hotel

On 3rd floor (2 flights up) without an elevator is somewhat challenging for seniors. Way too noisy.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service

Basic hotel. Bed was comfortable but had a cement wall for headboard, and couldn't sleep due to incessant noise from a compressor operating right outside our room. Only stayed two nights, so didn't ask to move. No elevator, which we knew when booking. Location was good, one street over from Malecon, but on a very busy, very noisy street. Restaurant wasn't great, but many other options close by. Reception staff very nice and helpful with directions.
