“Stay away”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2006

people found this review helpful

Just returned from a one week stay. Hotel is in dire need of upgrading and repair. Mold and mildew common. Suites have small fridge, a sink but no microwave. There is a shortage of wash cloths. Cable TV "under repair" for last three years? Only three local spanish stations viewable. Electricity totally shuts off when you leave your room thus continuous water running out of your fridge when you return. No in room safe. You must leave your valuables at front desk and sign a waiver that the hotel is not responsible for anything left in your room.
Buffet meals were awful. We ate at a different hotel every day.

This hotel is for the locals, not for the tourists. Would not reccomend thisplace to anyone.

“This places bites!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2006

My family and I stayed at this hotel the second week of August 2006. We arrived at 10pm and the receptionist refused to send up someone to install a crib for my 8 month old nephew. He was forced to sleep in an adult bed on our first night there. Secondly, the AC in my room had a leak. They fixed it but I was up until 1am waiting for them to come. My room smelled of humidity the entire time there. The staff was extremely rude and never helpful. THe restaurant has the dirtiest dishes I have ever seen. Twice I had to go get a new cup cause of lipstick marks on the supposedly washed cup. When we finally talked to the manager, all he tried to do was sell us a VIP package. This hotel is part of a Best Western chain and when I emailed the corporate headquarters with my complaint, they basically called us liars and acted as if my complaints were not valid. Seriously, save yourself the trouble and money and go somewhere else. Plus, the reception area has no AC and it is ridiculously hot in the restaurant.

“An OK experience”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2006

people found this review helpful

If you're going for the food, I must say I didn't have a bad meal there. A little spicey at times, but the same goes for all the food we had elsewhere, except of course the delicious, fresh, sweet as sugar fruit. The room was ok. I liked the firm mattress, my wife didn't. There was a constant musty, basement smell in the room, that someone with allergies might not like. The wait service in the restaurant's was top notch. The pool was nice, but not the cleanest looking. The hotel beach area was a little dirty, a lot of people feel it's ok to leave trash in the sand. For the price, I would recommend this hotel. It included bottled water-VERY IMPORTANT!!!

“Good for Spring Brak..Nothing else”

We enjoyed the aspect of spring break, because it was a place to pass out. The toilet overflowed, the shower curtain fell, and the ceiling in the hallway fell down! It wasn't the best hotel, but it made for some awesome stories!
