I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The rooms were in need of renovation, lacked a snack bar, but they did have plenty of outlets for our electronics, an amazingly comfortable bed, excellent air conditioning, and a beautiful bathroom. The fact that breakfast was included was a plus.

My experience with the service was not great. There's no buddy there that knows anything, and we had to repair the safe deposit box twice, wasting two hours of our sightseeing tour. The staff may be a little on edge. I did buy a pastry at the cafeteria that was worth $5 US dollars.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were so comfortable and relaxing, and the food was incredibly yummy. The pool area was also lovely. However, I was a bit disappointed that the bedroom sheets weren't replaced, which impacted the cleanliness. Overall, the hotel has a luxurious 90s feel to it, but some of the technology is a bit outdated.

The hotel's location, right across the ocean in the Malecon area, was picturesque. However, it was a bit isolated, requiring car transportation to get to other places. Despite this, the staff, especially Angela, Carmen, and Martha, made the stay even more enjoyable.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room had a view of the ocean, which was lovely, but there was a noticeable smell and water dropping from the air conditioning that the staff attributed to condensation. However, I appreciated the spaciousness of the room and the natural airflow. The hotel could work on room maintenance as I had to be moved to another room that was not a junior suite.

The hotel's rooms were out of date and smelled strongly of smoke, which made me feel uncomfortable during my stay. The rooms were old, dirty, and had maintenance issues like broken doors and windows. The front desk staff, particularly Beatriz, was unhelpful and disclaimed any responsibility for the room conditions. The price did not justify the poor state of the rooms.

The hotel is located on the shore of the ocean, which is fantastic for enjoying the views and is in a safe area just outside of the Colonial Zone. The rooms, while not very large, are good enough for a king-size bed and include essential amenities like a desk, side table with chairs, and a large flat screen TV. The decor may be a bit dated, but it doesn't take away from the overall comfort. The service was very friendly and accessible, always greeting me with a smile and willing to assist with anything I needed. The dining experience was great, with a wonderful view overlooking the Caribbean Sea, although it seemed a bit pricey. The facilities are well-maintained and offer convenient services like room service, airport shuttle, and valet parking.

The service is polite and professional, except for some restaurant staff. The dining experience is excellent, although not complimentary.

The hotel didn't quite live up to its 5-star appearance as the room had issues with the TV control and telephone that were not promptly resolved by the indifferent staff. Booking directly with the hotel saved money compared to other sites. However, the real room quality was not as expected.

Despite the wonderful view from the room, the hotel is overpriced due to lack of maintenance and the absence of essential disinfecting products. The service is somewhat laid back, but the location is excellent with a revitalized surrounding area. The dining offers a variety of options but lacks healthy dishes.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were very clean and well decorated, though there was a slight mildew smell. The beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable. The staff were friendly and very helpful, ensuring a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The location was a bit far from some attractions, but the hotel's setting on the malecón was lovely. Dining, especially the breakfast buffet, was a highlight during my stay.

I was really excited about the great location of this hotel, right by the breathtaking ocean view and close to plenty of local eateries. My room had some issues with a bad smell and outdated amenities, and the staff seemed indifferent to fixing them. However, the dining experience, especially the fresh fruit and juice, was outstanding. It just made up for the room letdowns.
