Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The rooms were not up to Hilton standards, with a broken toilet and a bad smell of humidity, but the full breakfast buffet and personalized omelette service were a definite plus.
I was excited about staying at this hotel due to its central location near shopping and restaurants. The rooms were a bit dark and outdated, but the service was friendly and attentive. The pool area was a highlight, but some facilities like the sauna and jacuzzi were unavailable. Overall, it was a decent value for the price.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with great spa tubs, clean and spacious, featuring balconies overlooking the pool area surrounded by palms. The service was friendly and accommodating, with prompt room adjustments when needed. A convenient location for evening flights, with charming tropical pool views, beautiful walking paths, and proximity to the airport. The dining options are tasty but pricey, with a variety of choices available.
