Matthew, Las Vegas

Room AC barely worked. AC leaked onto floor from ceiling and leak behind toilet onto floor in bathroom and rooms keys never worked. Pool was nice but no control over everyone claiming chairs with their towels but never showing up for hours. Nobody regulated it so getting a seat was hard and limited. Staff was nice but the room was below average.

The hotel is decent, the location is perfect however it is very family friendly so expect a lot of kids. The hotel, although old is relatively kept up and clean. As for amenities they are very stingy on so bring your own or buy locally. Bath towels are taken away daily (used ones) but only replaced every 2 days. Beach towels and need for cards is a pain. We did not do the all-inclusive option because they only include buffet breakfast buffet lunch and buffet dinner. So dining is not an option. We were on the 4th floor with partial ocean view. Great with nice balcony howver there is ZERO soundproofing for the rooms so you hear the street noise so loud all day/night. The bed is extremely firm. So if you're looking for an economical place to sleep in Zona Romantica this is it

What a fantastic stay! We had a gorgeous view of the ocean. Staff was helpful and friendly, room was very clean and nicely decorated. We had a very very nice stay! Also the location is the best, right on the beach and in the heart of Zona Romantica on Olas Atlas Street with tons of food, shops, and nightly beach fireworks! A great hotel, fantastic!

The location for this hotel was phenomenal. Located in the heart of the romantic zone and walking distance to the boardwalk. The beach here is divine. The rooms that have yet to be remodeled leave something to be desired but the staff and the amenities were great. There was always some type of food available, and the bartenders were quick. The bar service at the beach was fantastic, make sure to tip them and they will treat you like royalty.

This was our first time leaving the country alone and when we arrived we felt very welcomed and safe. The room was the Superior Single and it was very comfortable and clean, the bathroom was exactly what you needed. The shower was very slow to get hot water but worked every time. The food here is very decent, even if you are a picky eater there is plenty to choose from. The location is also great for food and restaurants. Had absolutely no issues with the staff other than the Iguana bartenders didn’t treat us the same as the buffet bartenders. The location is safe, and the beaches were clean and we will definitely come back. The most important part of this review is Ricardo, he cares about his job and about making people feel like they are the only ones he is taking care of, The best service I have ever had by far was when he was working.
