Fantastic property, beautifully designed. Staff was always responsive and helpful, very good service throughout.

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice condo style rooms with a major grocery store about a 15 mn walk - so making our own meals was a bonus. Staff friendly, on point and all speak solid English (Making up for my terrible Spanish ability.) Housekeeping shows up when you want them. Location is close to many of the more famous bars on the famous 5th Ave strip. Pool area nice, but small by "resort" standards. It's enough to keep young kids happy. Also doesn't get a lot of sun. Ocean access here, but this part of beach has major erosion so plan on walking down the street either North or South 15/20 minutes to find more of that classic Playa sand.

Unique place with beautiful interiors for the price, with large rooms, nice (cold) pools and decent food options. Staff were helpful. Beach front is very basic with boats and rocks but there are other options nearby too. Very central location close to most that the town has to offer.
