I recently stayed at this hotel and really appreciated its clean and spacious rooms, along with helpful and friendly staff. The location is nice and quiet, making it a cozy retreat after a busy day. However, I found the dining options to be quite poor, which was a letdown. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was beautiful, right by the ocean, and the facilities, like the swimming pool, were great. However, the staff could have been friendlier and more welcoming, which unfortunately affected the overall atmosphere. While the rooms were adequate, they had a bit of a strong disinfectant smell, which was off-putting. Overall, I think the hotel has potential but needs some improvements in service and room maintenance.

The hotel is located in a beautiful area with great views of the bay, but it's a bit far from main attractions and restaurants. While the rooms have a comfortable layout, there was a musty smell that made the stay less pleasant. The service was somewhat helpful but generally unfriendly, and the dining experience didn't live up to my expectations as the options were limited. Overall, it's nice to return to after a day of sightseeing, but there are certainly some areas for improvement.

The hotel is conveniently located on Isla Colon, right on a pier over the water, which provides a lovely view of the ocean. The service was polite and helpful, though the staff sometimes seemed to lack enthusiasm. The rooms were okay but felt a bit old, and I struggled a little to get a fridge in my room. Overall, it offers good value for money, but there are definitely areas that could use improvement.
