The hotel boasts a beautiful location with stunning views of both the Caribbean Sea and the Cordillera Mountains. The rooms are modern and spacious, but I felt they could be a bit overpriced considering the offered services. The staff provided friendly and helpful service throughout my stay. However, the dining options left a little to be desired, and it wasn’t ideal having to navigate so many vendors on the beach.

I had a pleasant stay overall, enjoying the spacious rooms with stunning views of the Caribbean Sea and the mountains. The service was friendly, although I felt it could have been more attentive for a hotel rated as five stars. The location is a mixed bag; while it offers some nice views, it's also near a busy area that can get a bit noisy and congested. Dining options were decent at breakfast but didn’t offer as much variety throughout the day, which was a bit disappointing.

I had a stay at a modern hotel that was conveniently located right in front of the beach, which was a fantastic perk. The rooms were clean and offered great views, but I was disappointed with the limited complimentary amenities provided. The service was a bit stiff; while I appreciated the airport shuttle, the overall atmosphere felt a bit uptight. The dining options were varied and delicious, but nothing really stood out as exceptional. Overall, I think the hotel is a solid choice but has room for improvement in several areas.

The hotel had a great location being very central and just a few minutes from the airport, which made getting around super easy. My room was large, clean, and comfortable, but it wasn't what I originally booked. The service was friendly and accommodating, but I was disappointed to find that additional items like water were charged despite being on an all-inclusive package. Overall, it was a solid experience, but there were a few hiccups that kept it from being ideal.
