We might have to go here every year! This is one of the most exceptional locations we’ve been to thanks to the upscale villas surrounding the town and the general beauty of Las Catalinas. The concierge desk was like having personal assistants to any requests to arrange transportation or reservations at other local restaurants or adventures. The staff were very accommodating in every way. Every time you ask for something the reply would be “it’s my pleasure…” All the staff were bilingual, the room was spacious and comfortable, modern and well appointed. We loved walking out of our room right onto the beach where you have plenty of amenities if you choose to indulge in beach sports or leisure. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return.

The rooms are so loud. We asked for quiet rooms and were placed next to the coffee shop on the busiest walk way. There’s construction noise starting early every morning so sleep was difficult. The property is beautifully designed and decorated but other than that, it’s not worth the expensive room rates.

Nice, clean and charming. Not much option for dining and shopping. area around the place is a construction site with dirt, dust, noise and daily limited access having to wait an average of 10 minutes every time leaving or coming back to the hotel which was very inconvenient and takes away the charm and at some time is frustrating especially when we had to be at certain place for a tour. Streets are full of pot holes even in street very near the hotel which could have been fixed to make the ride less stressful. For those above reasons unfortunately I don't recommend this hotel in that area.
