Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window may be tight — Check-in is between 14:00 and 18:00, which could be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- Potential for service hiccups — One guest experienced a 90-minute wait for their room despite being told 30 minutes, and felt staff communication was disjointed.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Parking not guaranteed — Parking is available, but it's not clear if it's free or secure — and valet parking is offered, which may come at an extra cost.

8.9Verified guest“I waited 90 minutes in the early evening for my room to be ready, even though they said half an hour. I paid full price and got a free coconut juice as compensation — a joke. Communication between staff seemed chaotic. They may need a management change. I won't return to this unwelcoming place.”
8.9Verified guest“The staff were great and the accommodation was superior. We booked the superior apartment for one night and had an excellent stay. As picky eaters, we loved being close to many restaurants — we went to Mayara Tortas & Cia a couple of times, a 5-minute walk away.”
8.9Verified guest“My stay was amazing. The location is perfect — not far from the beach and on the avenue outside, which makes it easy to find transport. The interior is spotless, and the facilities are great, including air conditioning. The breakfast is fantastic, with croissants, champagne, and just about everything you could imagine. The staff are friendly and accommodating.”
8.9Verified guest“Amazing breakfast, friendly staff, clean interior, great location.”

The room and bathroom were both spacious and clean, with great views from some windows. Service was impeccable, with friendly staff willing to help with anything. Breakfast was a highlight, with a wide variety of options including champagne and croissants.”

The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help. The location was perfect, with easy access to many key attractions.”
