    The hotel's location right at the beach was absolutely perfect. I could easily access the quiet Lagartillo beach just in front of the hotel or take a pleasant stroll down a pathway to a wonderful little beach. The proximity to the beach made my stay incredibly relaxing and enjoyable. Additionally, the hotel facilities were top-notch, especially the beautiful pool and various seating areas both outside and in the screened areas. It provided the perfect spaces to unwind and soak up the tranquil atmosphere. The staff at this hotel were also outstanding, always friendly and willing to assist. Their helpfulness added to the overall positive experience.

    Nothing, no complaints at all.
