This little hotel is not old - it’s ok, the restaurant is ok and the staff at the restaurant give great friendly service. There’s really nothing to do next to this little hotel and the biggest downside was that they insisted on playing loud loud music until 2 AM even when there was no one at the restaurant or near the pool it didn’t matter myself and others had to go complain several times consistently to get them to shut it off even around 2 AM. That was the only real negative part of my experience.

Disliked: Amenities
The infrastructure is bad the noise after 8:00pm is unacceptable people want to sleep and they keep playing music after 10:00 pm
The bathroom is so dirty. Questionable brown stains on toilet and shower areas. The toilet looks like it never been wipe down or sanitize after each guests. Never stay here again.
El chico del lobby no sabía cómo poner la TV la alberca muy sucia tuvimos que ir a pagar un day pass para que el niño usara la alberca

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
El único inconveniente es que están construyendo la carretera y el acceso al hotel está confuso. Podrían detallar mejor la llegada al hotel en estos momentos. Por lo demás todo está muy bien.
