"The property is new; room was clean; plenty water; very good location in Guaymas. We preferred to eat breakfast somewhere else. Wifi in the room was slow. We could not watch the world cup in our room because they could not help us to fix the TV, so we had to go downstairs in the lobby to watch."
"This hotel has a pool with 3 giant slides on the roof, so maybe excellent place for family with kids. Our room was clean and and decent but the place was very noisy with kids screaming in to hall till after 1 am. The TV was tiny and hard to use with its cable system. Doubt I would stay here again."
