Fodor's Review:

The location is ideal: on downtown's northern edge, just a few blocks from the malecón, shops, hotels, and restaurants. The beach has gentle waves, but with brown sand and rocks, it's not the prettiest beach and attracts few bathers. There's a lively pool scene; the adults-only area facing the sea, always crowded, is a big part of the draw. Some rooms are cheerful, with bright striped textiles and framed tropical prints; the drab ones are undergoing renovation at this writing. Ocean-facing balconies are tiny, and if you sit, you can't see a thing. Still, the sum of the whole makes up for the so-so rooms (with hard beds), and the all-inclusive rate is a good deal, especially for families.
