Experiencia agradable de cabañas en la playa. El restaurante con buen sabor; un rato agradable en unas cabañas agradables con A/C, la alberca está algo pequeña para la cantidad de gente que puede llegar a pasar un excelente fin de semana en playa del sol/puerto arista.

El servicio un poco deficiente , no jabón ni shampoo, pagar de contado no hay transferencias ni pago por tarjeta, ni iluminación hacia la playa en la noche, un poco de mala atención con las muchachas, pedí un coco y dijeron que no había, no suficientes sábanas

Todo muy bonito y tranquilo. Hablando de la habitación que nos tocó, las almohadas si están feas, solo mejorar eso, paren como de 5 años de uso

Buen lugar las habitaciones tipo cabaña de buen tamaño con lo necesario para pasar unos buenos dias a la orilla de la playa su comida es buena y sus precios justos cuenta con 2 albercas para los que no les gusta el mar y una muy buena vista a la playa me toco ver delfines desde las palapas.

La atención del personal fue muy buena. La habitación bien acondicionada con ventilador, aire acondicionado y baño limpio y bien mantenido. Durante el día atiende una masajista en la zona de hamacas y en el restaurante, que tiene vista al mar, llegan todo tipo de vendedores así que además de la comida puedes disfrutar de otros antójitos. Solo hubo un detalle con el apagador de la habitación que se sumía en la tablaroca, pero nada que no se pueda resolver. Con relación al mar hay que caminar unos 15 metros a la derecha o izquierda para que no te toque el "canal" que se forma. Fuera de esto todo muy bien incluso la ubicación del sitio cercano en auto a otros restaurantes de la zona.

Es un hotel cómodo y bonito considerando el lugar en donde se encuentra. Tiene todo lo que uno necesita para descansar y pasarla bien. Las habitaciones y áreas comunes están bien aunque las habitaciones podrían ser mejores para su costo por noche ($1600). El restaurante es rico, el servicio bueno pero nada que destaque. Las alberquitas muy bien, limpias y de un tamaño agradable. Está a pie de playa y ésta es muy bonita y limpia. Dan masajes con costo adicional y después de las 9pm puedes consumir alimentos externos en las áreas comunes como restaurante y palapas. Un lugar bastante recomendable.

Ha sido una de las mejores opciones cuando se trata de ir a playa de sol, las habitaciones bastante económicas si vas con familiares caben 4 en una habitación y si quieres meter a alguien más, te cobran el excedente. Frente a playita y con alberca. Muy tranquilo para descansar
