Review Score: 4

Summary: A lot of things need to improve, starting with the way the hotel differentiates guests who booked directly with them and through third parties such as hotels.com. It doesn’t make much sense that they offer an airport shuttle for direct bookings only. Room was good but not great specially for the price paid. The fridge and the A/C were super noisy and the TV was garbage (watching TV in the room was like going through a Time Machine, the definition looked like from a 30 year old TV). The staff were want the best either, I was literally woken up at 0700 in the morning with a knocking in my door asking if I wanted the room cleaned. Also the cleaning personnel are super loud when preparing the day. They chat super loudly in the hotel corridors, we were woken up by them most of the days before 0700. Food is also another very negative point. It’s not good and I even got food poisoned the last day. I’ve even tried to contact the hotel lobby several times without success. The only positive I found from this stay was the hotel amenities. The beach is also nice but it’s not well kept by the hotel. I understand it’s public but it would be nice for the hotel to clean the trash created by their guests or pack up their sun beds. Also having a life guard on duty would be a nice touch. I’m not giving it a 1 star because the amenities and bars were actually good.
