The hotel is pretty nice. It has a nice beach front, but not in front of el zonte surf spot. We stayed at the villas and are beautiful with a small private pool. We didn’t know that there was another common pool where the villas were. Nobody told us. We saw it on our last day. It was a shame but ok. Definitely a must stay place
