Stayed for 7 nights so we really got a good sense of what the place is like. The good: Wonderfully close to the water, especially if you get one of the beach front rooms. I suspect any room on the back of the buildings will be noisy though, as the highway goes *right* behind it. Cleaning staff seemed excellent. And generally this would be a good place to go for a shorter stay, if you like surfing. The not so good: We noticed when arriving and any time near the gates an overwhelming stench of sewage. We never could figure out where it was coming from. Very close to the highway. You could hear road noise when you were away from the ocean. Only one restaurant and nothing is walkable. I want to note that some other reviews have mentioned “not much” is walkable and I want to make sure to specify that *literally* nothing is walkable. This place is right off a highway, there is no sidewalk, and the beach is bookended by large cliff/rocks. I’m big on exploring on foot and was pretty disappointed to find out I’d need to take a car to get anywhere. The food in the only restaurant is hit or miss. I had some very good ravioli and enchiladas but some very overcooked shrimp and extremely salty avocado toast. The lunch menu is exorbitantly expensive; if you’d like a simple chicken quesadilla it’s $20 USD. And that doesn’t include the 17% Vat. Rooms are very bare bones. Minimal soaps, only one bottle of water which is replaced if you ask your room to be cleaned. The pools were rather small and very very warm. It was like swimming in a hot tub. This is not hyperbole as the upper pool hot tub was indistinguishable in temperature from the pool itself. The lower pool only marginally so. Because of the small size of the property when it’s full it felt very crowded. The beach is nice but not the most swimmable if that’s what you’re looking for. You can’t walk very far down the beach because there are rocks blocking the way on either side. This could be a pro and a con. Very steep grade in the hallways. My partner slid and fell once. Just be careful but also if you have issues walking take note. The staff is decent. About 30% of them are very nice, the others a little rude or passive at best. Rooms a bit bare bones for what you’d expect at $300-$600 USD per night. Very limited toiletries, horrendous coffee situation (tiny oster drip coffee machine with unknown grounds and powdered creamer). The coffee in the restaurant was also very poor. You also get locked out on the beach when they close the doors. The time the doors close varies. Today we got locked out at only 7pm.
