At first glance, we were thrilled when we arrived. The place looked comfortable, the ambience was nice, & the staff was helpful. We checked into our room, which was very nice--a view, a deck (we were on a premium floor).
But things started to take a turn for the worse. The pool was closed, the outdoor areas inaccessible. We complained, & after a day, they opened for us the 24" shallow pool, which got us wet, but it was not what we bargained for, that's for sure. All of the outdoor facilities were closed, too. The staff gave us many excuses, but the one that proved true was that the national park controls everything.
The beach looks great in the photos, right? Well, I'll include some of mine, so you can see what you're really going to find. You can't swim off that beach, either. In fact, signs prohibit even walking on it!
Breakfast is a spread, but frankly, the food looked thrown together, & not nearly as wonderful as we'd hoped--it's not cheap--$22 per person. Not worth it.
The location is not great, I'm afraid. It's a 25-minute drive into town, where all the action is. We drove, so I'm not sure what the cab fare will cost, but this is the kind of place where you stay put, which may be what you're looking for. For us, we went into town every day & night, so there was a fair amount of traveling.
To be fair, the hotel refunded us the entire bill for the room, for 2 days, as an apology for the lack of facilities & their inability to deliver what they'd advertised.
