The hotel has beautuful views and is close to town and all it has to offer. It has zip lines/ropes course on site. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the beds were comfortable. The biggest downfall was that there was really nothing to do for little kids. I found the pictures to be somewhat deceiving. You have to drive to the beach area. All in all, it was a good experience for the price.

The staff is unhelpful. The walls are almost paper thin. We could hear everything what was said next door and in the hallway. We asked to be moved. The room we had faced the parking lot. The rest of the room faced the moutains or trees. The manager told me to take or leave. They dont sell scenery. If we wanted to leave they would charge us anyway.
