Disliked: Cleanliness
Check in was fast and there was valet parking a nice touch and they gave you 2 water bottles which was nice. Room cleaning needs attention. The room was musty and moldy smelling especially once the very loud air conditioner was turned on but that happens in the tropical warm climate. There was a few strands of long black hair between my bed sheets and some on the floor in the bathroom and short hairs on the toilet. I do think they need to do a better job cleaning. We have very blonde hair so it wasn't ours. Buffet breakfast was good, and roof top games area was clean but we were too tired to use it. I don't use pools but that is the highlight of this hotel. There was a lot of lush green trees and shrubs surrounding the pool and I feel it contributed to the overall dampness of the hotel as it is centered in the middle of the hotel and open to all floors to look down on. Staff were nice and friendly.

En general, el hotel se ve muy bien. Se nota que tiene sus años pero todo estuvo renovado, limpio e impecable. El desayuno muy rico y variado. Falta mucho mejorar la atención al cliente, el personal es atento pero parece que siempre estuviera enojado.

The cleanliness of the room really stood out. Everything felt fresh, well‑maintained, and comfortable. The staff made the biggest difference. They were welcoming, attentive, and consistently helpful throughout my stay. The amenities stood out most — from the reliable Wi‑Fi to the fitness center and breakfast options, everything added convenience. What stood out was the overall atmosphere. The combination of location, quiet environment, and attention to detail made the experience unique.
