Tropical Paradise + Beachfront Access

Clean, older hotel style resort. This works if you plan to spend most of your time doing activities on the island and beach. Nice patio by the bar and pool for lounging. The cat litter box smell in the room gave me a headache. Bring a diffuser to help deal with the weird odor. Staff were polite, but many didn't seem to speak or understand conversational English well. Knowledge of Spanish language is useful here. Breakfast was basic, but well prepared. They advertise spa services, but we didn't see evidence of any spa services, just an area that might have been used for some kind of salon service. Exercise room and equipment was cleaned and well maintained. Great location for beach access and views.

For the price, I think I could have found better. The location is great, but parking is needlessly way too far from the building which means just having to run to the car from your room is needlessly stupid. The free breakfast is good and the staff (with the exception of the late night check-in guy with the black painted fingernails) was polite and helpful. The building needs some upgrades (missing signage made finding our room pretty difficult), but the pool is very nice. Like I said, it wasn't amazing, but it wasn't bad either. Beware, they charged me for things I never used. In dispute now.
