"Super clean property used by national and international tourists, conveniently located close to the Santa Cruz marina and taxi stand. Staff were friendly and efficient. We had ground floor rooms facing the pool but that wasn't a problem because the pool noise quited by 9 PM. We would return. "

"Hotel staff were great Melina and Rey in particular. Restaurant is overrated and overpriced and service is very slow. Dogs and chickens are noisy all night. It's too far from town (about 25 km) The area is not busy and very safe, if you want to be away from the tourist crowd this is a good area."
