Great pool
The pool is a really nice size and space with great bar - more of a party pool for sure. Service was a bit lacking - took nearly 45 mins to check out with huge queues all morning. Really difficult to get towels for the pool. Breakfast was excellent

6/10 Good

Pool and bar area very cool, but rooms seemed very basic, air conditioning didn’t blow too cold. No shampoo or conditioner was provided and for a 4.5/5 star hotel I would expect this much. Hotel didn’t allow a guest to enter property I had to beg to allow my mother in law to just enter to come to my room for few mins.

8/10 Very good

A lovely room and lovely hotel. The staff, especially Martens at reception, were fabulous and helpful. Enjoyed a lovely massage at the spa but it really is just a nice room with massage tables. The location was good to walk to attractions in Santa Teresa and centro but didn’t always feel safe as a solo traveler. The dinning options are also limited, they only offer a buffer service for dinner which was disappointing.
