Upon arrival, the check-in experience was not the warmest. The gentleman at the front desk (wearing glasses, around 40–50 years old) came across as quite dry and unwelcoming, and communication was a bit difficult as he spoke very little English. As a solo traveler, first impressions matter, so this felt a bit uncomfortable.
However, shortly after, a lovely staff member from the bar offered me a hibiscus welcome drink, and she was friendly and kind, which definitely improved my first impression.
The rest of my stay was pleasant. The room had a beautiful view overlooking the pool and parts of the surrounding area on the 9th floor, which I really enjoyed. The hotel is in a convenient location — within walking distance to Playa Tortugas and Playa Langosta, making it easy to explore and enjoy the beach.
Keep in mind that basic amenities such as toothbrush and toothpaste are not provided; only body lotion and shampoo were available plus towels. There is a mini fridge too but it was so noisy I didn’t even bother to turn it on. I used a cooler for my drinks.
Overall, it’s a budget-friendly, relaxed place to stay — nothing luxurious, but comfortable and chill. The poolside bar is a nice bonus.
