Property is located in poor neighborhood. Streets in very poor condition. The picture doesn’t show the neighbors. Some guests had to call police.

Liked: Cleanliness
Pros: can easily access staff via WhatsApp, has airport pickup/drop-off, easy access beach & pool, food is delicious & fairly priced. Cons: must PAY for airport transfers, hotel & beach area allow for annoying local vendors to harass guests, "Spa" is not what you think it is and walls/doors are paper thin - NO sleep will go uninterrupted by loud voices, ringing phones, opening/closing doors... not the relaxing, escape from noise that I was expecting.

Hotel good, transportation availability bad
Hotel was decent. Nothing fancy. The only issue we had was the lack of transportation. We wanted to go to the historic area and we had to wait an hour for a taxi. No Ubers around, no matter the time of day.

Avlägset men härligt hotell
Jättefint hotell, men lite avlägset. Dryga taxiresor t o r andra aktiviteter. Mycket få alternativa restauranger än hotellets egna som i och för sig var alldeles utmärkt

Hôtel tranquil et isolé de tout
Bel hôtel éloigné de tout. Si vous souhaitez y aller, pensez à louer une voiture. Les Colombiens sont en vacances à Noël, donc plein à Noël mais plus personne en été. C'est bien si vous voulez être tranquille mais tous les restos sont fermé le soir.

Amazing place. Calm. Clean. Beatifull
I was really surprised with the experience. All the previous reviews seemed to be from a different time. The hotel is small but really comfortable. Great pool and the ocean views from the rooms made it very romantic. There is no hit water but you don't really miss it. Greta to go for a run in the morning. Have a relaxing beach experience with very little sellers around. Nice cóctela and Kelly is amazingly kind!!!

Mignon très sympathique
En traversant ce village quelque peu étonnant, nous avions des doutes sur la destination choisie. Ne faites pas demi tour et confirmez passer un séjour dans cet endroit où les gens sont sympathiques, accueillant. Un endroit de paradis.
