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. Rooms were redecorated in 2007, and are now cheerful, with bright striped textiles and framed tropical prints. Ocean-facing balconies are tiny, and if you sit, you can't see a thing. Still, the sum of the whole makes up for any deficiencies, and the all-inclusive rate is a good deal, especially for families. Pros: 24-hour business center and room service, great place to socialize, five-minute walk to the malecón and downtown. Cons: Recent renovation brought along a price hike, balconies are small.

We stayed in May 2008 and got an excellent deal on a honeymoon room with jacuzzi,bed was comfortable,enjoyed pool probably more then any other have been to.Poolside food was very good.Now same room costs 2-3 times more and am sad about that.
