Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is modern and clean, with cute towel designs. The Front Desk is always accessible, enhancing the overall convenience. The location is beautiful, but it can get crowded during peak times. Dining offers diverse choices but lacks attentive table service.
The hotel rooms were average, but being right next to the long Pool with the attentive bartender Jose made it worthwhile. The service was pleasant with quick and friendly staff. During peak times, the location could feel crowded, but the stunning landscaping made up for it. Dining options ended early, which was a downside. Overall, a good value for the experience.

I felt like I was part of an exclusive group as I stayed in building 7, overlooking the pool. The room was in good repair and had all the necessary supplies, including impressive towel art.
