    Relaxation by the beach… check!

    If travelers do not have a rental car, this place can be remote. So do you research. I came off-season, and there were not a lot of people or things to do. This is exactly what I wanted. But if you want action, you will want to come in season, and have a rental car.

    I booked this property for rest and relaxation, and it’s exactly what I got. The best thing about the property was the staff. Nivia, Calvin, Juan and all… everyone was very friendly and accommodating. They even arranged for a ride back to David because it is so remote and I did not have a rental car. The beach is very close room was comfortable, air conditioner worked, and water pressure in the shower was awesome. they also had food available (and it was delicious ) because the restaurant is on site.

    Our 1st room had an Air conditioner that didn't work. Our 2nd room had a great Air conditioner but a TV that didn't work. We were informed the room's TV was out of order. That was OK with us since the TV only had local channels in spanish.

    Restaurant food was very good. Service was great. It's an older resort directly on the beach. There's approx 9 miles of beautiful beach to walk. Take beach shoes. The beach has dark sand that's too hot for bare feet. The room had clean sheets & towels for showers. Take your own beach towels. You can take a cooler to your room but can't take you own food or drinks to the pool.

    TV did not work due to weak wifi signal. I don’t recommend rooms in the 300 & 400 buildings if you want good wifi signal. Bar by the pool was always closed. Service at the restaurant was ok.

    Location to the oceanfront.

    Bathroom a bit dated, plastic seating furniture in apartment lounge and sparsely decorated. Bedroom smelt strongly of damp. It was low season so many amenities closed and under maintainence eg second pool and outdoor bar closed and under repair, (but indoor bar open). Main pool not clean (leaves, dust floating on it), outdoor areas dishevelled or not attended to. Presumably it's better in high season. A little isolated, need car to get there or $16 Uber taxi from David, or $30 dollar hotel taxi to David.

    Good wifi, good air con, clean, comfy bed, very helpful friendly staff. Manager helped me order airport taxi and sorted out any small issues quickly. Located next to beach, nice restaurant and lovely food, good waiter service, good, large shower. Microwave and fridge a real bonus. Was upgraded to one bedroom suite which was much appreciated. Very quiet. For the price I paid I enjoyed my stay.

    The outdoor furniture in the living area had no pads which made for uncomfortable sitting. The manager tried to help by bringing blankets to use for padding, but they were inadequate. The website listed a coffee pot in the room as an amenity, however there was none present. One was delivered to the suite after it was requested, unfortunately, coffee filters were not included so it was unusable.

    The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We rented a two bedroom suite, which was perfect for our needs. It was great to have that option! The restaurant was very nice and we were very happy with everything we ordered, except the holadres, which were basically inedible. Having two pools was great so that we could chase the shade!

    The grounds and outside of the resort are a bit neglected and dated... but over all it is a beautiful space.

    this was, maybe, my 20th time staying here... as always the staff are freindly and considerate! The property is getting a bit dated.. but overall the rooms have been updated and are extremely comfortable! The food is pretty consistently good! We love the traquility and peacefulness of the resort!

    Nice modestly priced, peaceful place to go to get away from it all.

    Place needs some updates, maintenance, and paint, as the salt air just eats away at everything. No other options available for food or supplies so if you aren’t already bringing it with you, you probably won’t be able to get it. Bedding could be better, however was adequate.

    All rooms had an ocean view and a small porch with chairs and tables facing the ocean. Walls in between gave a sense of added privacy and seclusion. All doors were keyed with a combination deadbolt when locking door. Laundry services were very prompt and fairly priced. Food was ok, good ceviche. Not many people so it felt like you almost had the whole resort to yourself. Only 3 other couples were there at the time. 2 pools on property to soak in. Very large property and a seemingly endless beach with no trash visible on it. Do watch out for the very strong undertow as there are no lifeguards. Not alot of bugs besides a few gnats from time to time. Many people on staff had a fair working knowledge of English which was a boon for me. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Internet was about average for the area @ 5 mbps. Cheapest ocean front place I have probably ever stayed. Hotel is surrounded by tropical gardens and there are lots of birds. AC was nice and cold.

    They offered some spa services, but they were not considerate of my time. I asked for a time for a message and was given one a few days after I had requested. A few hours before my appointment I was rescheduled by the masseuse as they were not able to make our appointment. This happen a second time the next appointment so I just cancelled the service all together believing they were not really interested in my business.

    The hotel was really close to the beach and the beach had beautiful sparkling black sand which was so soft to walk on. The pool was very nice to way in with two sides to the pool. One side was in the sun where the other was shaded by some trees so you could have the best of both if desired.

    A fridge in the room would have been nice as we found the food at the restaurant expensive. The whole resort is in need of urgent renovation and the pool needs some TLC.

    The drinks at pool bar were not so good, expensive for drinks served in plastic glass, the stuff didnt understand english, the pool needs to be cleaned more often.

    Nice view on the beach, well located resort, clean rooms, beautiful garden at resort and sandy wide beach about 2 minutes walking from resort. At reception were kind and helpful. Restaurant was also very good.
