Overall--really nice and great value and breakfast.

Very nice in all respects, excellent value and great breakfast wth good coffee, really nice rooms and friendly staff. I liked the pool a lot but if a rooftop pool or swimming laps is your thing, this pool is just okay. It only gets sun mid day and it is too small .

Beautiful boutique hotel with very personable and approachable staff. Rooms differ in size/layout, but I was happy with mine (even though it might have smelled a little musty at first!). Also very conveniently located, next to two grocery stores and close to many restaurants and stores.

Good but…

The hotel is very clean and very well located in Bocagrande—close to two malls, the beach, a gym, and two 24-hour supermarkets. The room was clean, breakfast was buffet-style, the facilities were in perfect condition, and the staff was friendly. However, for a hotel in this price range, not having a water dispenser or access to water for guests is very disappointing. I needed to take a pill, had very little water left in my bottle, and at the front desk they told me I had to go out and buy water because they didn’t have any available. I found it unbelievable that they couldn’t help me with even a glass of water.

Great place to stay

The pool area was smaller than I expected. There was not many lounge chairs or places to sit by the pool. The service was good and staff was friendly, and the hotel and room was clean. The area was very good too with many places within walking distance.
