This hotel was a nice place to stay... I went there with my husband for a mini vacation 5 days/ 4 nights for a great deal $240 (tax included) which I booked to have a nice time visiting the island and some point of interest that I always heard as a kid but never got the chance to visit...

I cant complain of this hotel. It was nice, very clean, and confy... The employees were very polite, accomodating and helpful.. But it is only good if you are on a business trip, if you are visting relatives, going to a wedding or just for visiting the island like I was ... but if you are expecting luxury and being pampered this is not your place...

Amenities:
It has 2 jacuzzis (1 hot, 1 cold), a pool (that was very warm when I went in to have fun with my husband), the hotel was empty so that was a plus... we had it for ourselves... they are open only until 10pm, they were clean, free of mold or other floating things and that was good too... they also have a pool bar but it was closed my whole stay...

They have nice landscaping, a little garden near the pool, umbrellas with chairs, wifi, a restaurant, a gym (I cant tell what was in it because my key never opened the door to it and I had to be with a security guard so I just quit trying to get in)... they have a game room with couple of old games...and a salon... I think thats it...

Surroundings:
The parking lot was spacious, it is near supermarkets, airports, schools, post office... they give you maps to travel around... I took my GPS, I got lost with their maps... but the intention is what it counts...

Service:
All the employees were very nice, friendly and polite. The manager gave us a 50% off card to play golf at Costa Caribe Golf Course as soon as she saw us talking about golf and saw our clubs... that was very nice, they were paying attention to every detail... there was one time I needed a plate and a spoon to eat something in my room and they were able to get it for me and I wasnt eating from the restaurant, and other time I needed a glass of milk and they got me one quickly without asking...

Housekeeping:
They cleaned the room every day, they left us plenty of soap, coffee (yey!!!) and towels (Tip: take your own towels, the ones from the hotel are very small)...

Maintenance
They were remodeling the rooms, they were cleaning all the time, the halls were clean, some smell like cigarrett but it came from the rooms... so if you dont like that smell you will have to work with it because there is a section of the rooms in the hotel where you can smoke in them. Other than that everything was fine.

Restaurant:
I cant comment in regards to the food or the restaurant because I never went there to eat. I can say that they were very polite and helped me when I needed from them but thats it. I went to eat out of the hotel, I ate a full breakfast (2 egs, jam and cheese, bread toasts, juice or coffee for $2.99)... lunch for $6.95 and dinner for the same... you can go to the town and find a lot of places cheaper than the hotel restaurant...

Opportunities:
1. They dont have elevators, so if your room is on the 2nd floor make sure you use the cart to carry your stuff near the steps to your room...
2. They dont have a bellboy to take care of your luggage when you arrive so prepare to take care of that yourself...
3. Your room key might give you problems so try to get a room with the new lock.
4. Cable suck big time, after being on the road the whole day, we went to the pool to relax and then went to our room to plan our next day while watching TV, but my god my TV reception was horrible and barely watchable... I think that I was able to watch like 3 or 5 channels... I didnt bother to call front desk because eventually I was so exhausted that I fell asleep... but that was something that I didnt like...
5. Bigger towels.
6. To maintain the pool opened after 10pm, and open the pool bar during the day or night, have music and drinks at the pool...

Other than that, I dont believe there's something else that I found wrong...

Overall Experience
It was a great deal which I wasnt able to reject, I had a great time and I just used the hotel to sleep, and that was fine for the price I paid... I do recommend it to others!

We were there one night and went back for two nights the next weekend. We were very happy with the hotel. I'm glad I didn't read the prior reviews or I might not have stayed there. The rooms were very clean. The pool and hot tub was great even with a lot of people there on Good Friday weekend, There seemed to be plenty of staff and they where very friendly. We didn't have the beakfast but the restaraunt kept very busy.
