The staff was very accommodating especially Marlene M, the receptionist. She was very helpful and kind.
The breakfast menu was great had a lot to choose from and the grounds and the pool area are well kept.

True beachfront with a nice beach. Large rooms. Nice staff. Free Breakfast. A little run down but clean.
Volver a restaurar el aspecto del hotel. Se nota claramente qué desde el terremoto de 2016, no se ha reparado la cerámica del piso. Y algunas cortinas se ven algo deterioradas.
Hice la reserva, me la cobraron y cuando fuí al hotel me dijeron que no había habitaciones disponibles y que no era culpa de ellos
Fue una muy mala respuesta!
Deberían mejorar la limpieza del baño y piso de la habitación.
Las instalaciones del baño de la habitación se ven viejas y poco cuidadas.
La mayoría del personal no saluda, empezando por el área administrativa.
