Positive Reviews
positive:
Staff tries to make everything better.
The staff goes out of their way to make up for any shortcomings guests may experience in their stay. The staff members are friendly and always helpful. The welcome at the reception gets guests off to a great start for the stay.
positive:
All-inclusive has choices.
The all-inclusive has a lot of choices. Guests can choose which plan and could eat partial meals at the hotel and try other nearby restaurants. Guests who stick with the full meal plan will have a nice selection. The plan does include beer and wine. Guests can also eat at the sister hotel San Anton. While the food isn't gourmet, it will keep you well-fed and satisfied.
positive:
Cheap, but choosy.
The affordable rates make this a good option for those on a budget. The rates allow for rooms with a good size and accommodations that are basic and standard, but comfortable enough for a decent night's sleep.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Don't expect luxury.
For the cheaper prices, guests can expect accommodations without any luxuries. The rooms are basic, with standards mattresses and bedding. There are small TVs and some maintenance issues. Guests who come on holiday looking to relax in a swanky room will be disappointed with this choice.
negative:
Join the WiFi club.
The WiFi is only available in common areas, which is basically the reception area at the hotel. Be prepared to join the other hotel guests as many congregate in this area to check emails and stay in touch through technology.
negative:
Not hotel routines.
Don't expect for daily cleaning to occur. Bedding and linens won't be exchanged either. If you want a cleaning service, you have to make particular arrangements, which don't always follow your holiday plans.
