Have to agree with all of the previous positive comments. My wife and I spent 8 nights and had a great time. We were amazed with the personal service and attention to detail of the staff. Every single employee at the hotel was extremely accomodating and polite. My wife hurt her foot running up stairs in her flip flops and... More

Nice hotel, recommend the 4th floor rooms. A bit higher but great views & close to little pool. When I say little pool I mean not only outside diameter but depth. Depth is about 2.5ft. But good place to lounge. We stayed on 3d floor, would definitely stay again. All associated with hotel helpful and friendly.

After booking with Illusion I had my doubts (having read several reviews about the "bait and switch" as mentioned earlier). So I e-mailed the hotel a week before arrival to make sure we were in their system. All e-mail correspondence was quick and thorough. Upon arrival we were greeted by sweet Marta and Cynthia. You could not ask for two... More

Awesome experience. Everyone professional and courteous. Talk about being in the middle of everything. We were 155 steps away from the beach. Yes, I counted. Great price. Only downfall was there was no ice. Definitely would recommend and we will be going back.

This placed was exactly what they offered. The location is great, half a block from the beach and half a block from Quinta Avenida and all its restaurants. The rooms where very nice and the staff was always happy and helpful. Completely recommended and very good deal for the price!
