Excelente lugar para hospedarse. Muy atentos con el servicio de limpieza y siempre están al tanto de los clientes. En el área de restaurante, muy ricos los alimentos y una preparación excepcional! Cuenta con bastante estacionamiento, cuenta con acceso a la playa, así como también, cuenta con una alberca de buen tamaño. Las habitaciones cómodas para una familia de 4 a 6 personas. Precios accesibles.
La habitación 2da. VIP me encantó, las almohadas muy bien, la comida también, sin duda, regresaré.
El servicio es muy bueno y la comida es excelente, sin duda un lugar recomendable
Es un buen lugar con salida directa al mar, las habitaciones bastante amplias y muy limpias. Cuentan con agua fría y caliente lo que se agradece mucho. La alberca es bastante grande así que no hay problema con que se llene. Es un lugar muy bonito para pasar un día o dos. Lo único malo es que el restaurante tardan bastante en traer tu comida a pesar de que no había gente cuando estuvimos ahí. Pero fuera de eso bastante recomendable
La comida fue deliciosa, porciones de buen tamaño y la atención es bastante amable. Las instalaciones están bien cuidadas. Muchas playa para caminar y descansar. Muy recomendable.
Super amables, el servicio genial. Mis excursionistas super contentos, habitaciones amplias, vista al mar.
Excelente nos atendieron muy bien, amplio estacionamiento habitaciones para todos los presupuestos, alberca grande y limpia, restaurante con precios accesibles, acceso a la playa, la habitación limpia y cómoda el único detalle es que no hay señal y el wifi del hotel se satura en fin de semana pero de ahí todo perfecto
Es un hotel maravilloso! Tiene una excelente vista a la playa y fácil acceso, cuenta co. Estacionamiento, la forma de pago es en efectivo y con tarjeta, no hay muy buen señal pero finalmente si vienes a descansar no es necesario, de todos modos el hotel cuenta con WiFi y te comparten la clave al accesar, las habitaciones muy limpiar y bien distribuidas, el lugar es tranquilo, el restaurante es delicioso, muy buena atención, tiene variedad de alimentos y bebidas, cuanta con alberca, amacas, mesas y lugares de descanso, la vista es muy hermosa, el personas es muy cordial, definitivamente voy a regresar.
