Very good hotel, excellent location, amazing pool.

Overall it was a very good stay but it didn’t start well. After 24 hours travelling, arriving late at night, we didn’t have the best check in experience. The hotel had reached out the day before to ask for passport information to ensure a speedy check in, but we were behind 2 big groups who obviously hadn’t done this. Half an hour wasted waiting and then when we got to the room the sofa bed wasn’t ready for our children which meant another half an hour wait. I spoke to Miguel the next day who was very understanding and from then on our stay was excellent. The room was great, especially the balcony and the pool really is incredible. Food is pretty good and there is a wide selection at breakfast. Would stay here again.

Such a well maintained, incredibly friendly helpful place. Everything you need for food, drinks, facilities for a great stay. Pool always well taken care and washrooms, which is so rare. Best place to stay if you’re in Bocagrande. Shout out to Estelar for going above and beyond from checkin to checkout.

The hotel openly harasses foreign tourists, which makes staying at this hotel look like hell! They charge a fee for going to a rooftop bar or for a guest who enters your room , the hotel managers shrug and do nothing , referring to the hotel's policy , which they themselves cannot provide and show where these prices come fromI have left not only a bad impression, but to all my friends and those who will see this review from America, I 100 percent do not recommend staying at this hotel to save money and nerves!
