"Nicely decorated. Good size and depth pool. Shower fixtures good, with good water pressure (not too high, not too low) and good showerhead size and flow. Was some water damage around shower door. Breakfast was good and plentiful and refilled often so the wait for food items was not long. Breakfast ingredients quality was good."

"We went for one night and everything was wonderful, I have to say that Oscar made our checkin and first night very pleasant. He had a smile the entire night and was very professional. The only problem we had was that the pool opens at 8am and when we got to the pool, there was no towels. They took quite long to get the guests some pool towels. I would definitely come back"
