4/10 Fair

No bang for your buck
The hotel charges A rates and gives you a B-type drinks. Local distilled moonshine seems to be the main alcoholic beverage and at the VIP pool beer is poured out of a salad bin. The food generally speaking is good, tasteful and varied, the disappointment came during New Year's Eve dinner, being the same as any other night. On top of that, wine is of mediocre quality and not even for NY eve a better bottle was offered. The maintenance has been overlooked on many issues, small details and larger details show signs of wear and tear. The facilities are three years old, but appear older. The surroundings of the resort are worth your while, the pools are great, yet the main pool tends to overcrowd as the resort sells day passes as well. If you travel with a wheelchair or stroller, be aware not all areas are easily accesible, although the staff is more than prepared to help you out. I was very impressed by the drivers, great guys, each one of them, as were the guys at the restaurant. On the room, swell, nice presentation, not enough closets (only one tiny closet) so we lived out of our suitcases for the stay. And among the suitcases, as there was no room to store them. Under the bed an old sock was found, the room temp was 100 degrees upon arrival and the airco only managed to reduce the temp after sun set. During day time the airco, set at 75 F could not lower the temp to less than 90 F. Prior to this qualification, I sent a mail to the management, still no reply.

Me gustó los programas que tienen de entretenimiento para día y noche, además de ofrecer almuerzo especial muy bien presentado y atractivo. El aire acondicionado sonaba toda la noche. Parecía lloviendo. Pienso que es un tema de mantenimiento. Expedia debería permitir reservar 2 habitaciones diferentes en la misma reserva para facilitarla. Me tocó hacer dos reservaciones diferentes.
