Just book it.
Loved this place so much we booked to stay longer. Fantastic location just 5 mins walk from the national park beach which is stunning. The grounds of the hotel are lovely with two pools to cool down in after a hot day in the beach. Staff are exceptionally helpful snd kind. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel and a Mexican restaurant just along the road. We had the superior double room with a large kitchen and terrace so nice that we went to Maxi Palí supermarket at the end of the road and bought food to cook in the lovely kitchen. Now sitting in a hotel further up the coast and wishing we hadn’t left paradise

Construction noise woke up at 5.30 am every day .
Extremly dissapointed . Hotel was good but i was woken every morning between 5.30 and 6am with very loud construction noise . On the last day they also started a reno on the room next door . They droped something on my door at 5.30 am then stated moving stuff in and out and banging on the pipes. Im on vacation i dont want to be up before 6 am . Tried to explain to staff and ask for the manager they said he wasnt in . I paid good money yet got little sleep . Id like a refund .

Decent hotel
The hotel seemed new and was very clean but a little impersonal but well located. There are other hotels closer to the beach though for the same price

Le service pour l’hôtel est ok. Très peu de contact avec eux et on nous évitait quasiment. Aucune étoile à donner pour un wow pour le service à la clientèle sur place. Le service au restaurant pour les déjeuners était plus convivial et rapide. La dame était souriante et très sympathique.
La chambre qui était avec une cuisine avait deux portes barrées au fond d’un corridor pour probablement des gens qui habitent l’hôtel. Je ne me sentais pas totalement en chambre privée à cause de cela. De plus on les entendait suffisamment pour comprendre ce qu’ils disaient et des enfants criaient.
Un autre point un peu négatif était la qualité du lit et matelas qui était médiocre alors que tout le reste de la chambre était vraiment très beau et fonctionnel. C’était comme s’ils avaient mis de la qualité partout sauf dans le lit et les oreillers ultra minces un peu comme sur utilisées. Nous étions deux et avions qu’une minie oreiller chaque.
Les bons points étaient le stationnement à même l’hôtel et fermé par des barrières la nuit, deux belles piscines propres et l’aire climatisée permettant une belle fraîcheur dans la chambre.
