The good: hotel employees are nice in the dining area and around the hotel. Food is good. The bad: cleanness is not the best. There are little mosquitoes and bugs in the bedrooms and they will bite you. When you complains about it they don't do anything.

When arrival they gave us room in the older building smelling dusty and fungi. Air conditioning leaking water in the floor. After claiming for a better room they move us to another building very clean and nice. The dining area was very very hot, difficult to enjoy a nice breakfast

Me parece una falta de respeto que me hayan cobrado um cargo adicional siendo que cuando hize el registro el menor tenía 17 años. Al llegar al hotel me dijeron que los menores son hasta los 12 años
