Had a great stay. Quiet place with a beautiful beach. A couple of good restaurants within walking distance. A special shout out to Aurelio at front desk who went above and beyond to help us plan excursions. 4 star is due to no functioning hot water during our 5 day stay while they did try fixing it. Thankfully it was very hot outside.

Rooms are quite old, but clean. As most of the old resort, À/C was not working well and fridge didn’t keep the drinks cold. However, the food was good, specially in the specialty restaurants. Staff are very kind. If you like staying at the beach all day, this is not the place for you to go. There ...
