When we came they asked us to pay more for 2 extra people even though online versions of same booking showed same price. Toilets were clogged Water sink clogged Bed bugs exist I asked to do something about it they brought new sheets was good, I asked for manager they never called one. Asked for medicine to treat the bites nothing happened. I will be filing an insurance claim as I would expect for this price after one night there I don’t have my body scratching all over from the bed bugs.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this lovely hotel. It is extremely family friendly. The levels in the pool are great for playing games: the swim bar is fun: the excellent appetizer platter was enough to feed a huge group and was tasty. The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. We will be back.

Lost my money!!!!

This place don’t answer their phones or messages from hotels.com!!! I tried to cancel it as it said online was 10 minutes away from Coco beach and it was 2 hours plus away! So I tried to cancel and never got replies so lost my money! Extremely unprofessional and dirty!!!! For this reason I’d never recommend when they don’t answer people over like this! Ended up having to pay for another place which was actually in Coco!!!

Would definitely stay again. The staff were all great, there were many restaurants within a couple minute drive, and the beach was beautiful and quiet. Sand quality is not as good as some others, but there are dozens of beaches within 5-10 minutes or so. Rooms were spacious and as clean as you can really get on a tropical beach.
