If you do not speak Spanish, I would come with someone who does. The food is not that great. The buffet food is decent. The restaurant themselves. I personally did not enjoy the food.

It’s a bait and switch the address is not where the location is and the rooms shown are not available. It’s still under construction and has regular black outs. Next to a cemetery. Do not stay here pictures not as shown. AGAIN DO NOT STAY HERE BAIT AND SWITCH NOT AS ADVERTISE. And Expedia nor the hotel will compensate.
