Overall it serves its purpose! Clean , safe hotel to sleep at. I liked that it’s close to everything. The best part I would have to say it was the little place next to the hotel that serves food and drinks. If your wanting some cheap good food definitely check it out! It’s called botanero. The only think that I DID NOT like was that they promoted access to the other resort, but they was that they presented it was by going over there and “seeing the resort, spend all day there” I was going I saw the impression that we had free access to the resort without telling you it’s a TIMESHARE presentation! Over 2 hours we spent there! Such a waste of time! If I would of know from the beginning I would of definitely not WASTED my time there, it totally ruined my days plans! So BEWARE!!

This is great for 1 night, maybe before catching an early flight the next morning. The rooms are European-like (small, key card turns on power). It is quite new and everything looks fresh. We missed amenities like luggage rack, glasses, ice but overall were pleased based on convenience and price.

My room floor was a little dirty, I like walking barefoot and my feet were very dirty after a few minutes walking in the room. Also there was a bad odor coming from the shower floor drain. I covered it with a piece of carton during the night so I could avoid the bad smell. I like to stay at this property a lot so I hope my next experience is better.

Mexico and Central America Holiday Packages
Travel here for warmth all-around, with hot weather, spicy food, tropical beaches and warm-hearted residents. See reminders of ancient civilizations too.
Visit Mexico and the Central American countries for fabulous beaches and much more. Find history, culture, ancient ruins and delicious food.
Mexico’s beaches are justifiably famous. On the western Pacific Ocean coastline, see cliff divers in Acapulco, stay in a private bungalow with a pool in Puerto Vallarta and watch marine wildlife in Cabo San Lucas. Cozumel and Cancun on the eastern Yucatan peninsula on the Gulf of Mexico offer lovely sand beaches with access to reef diving and nearby Mayan ruins.
Moving south, appreciate impressive art and architecture in Mexico City. See the folk ballet and visit museums ranging from anthropological to artistic, including the famed Museo Frida Kahlo. Eat spicy meals on a food tour and purchase hand-crafted silver jewellery. Climb the 2,000-year-old pyramids of the pre-Columbian site, Teotihuacan.
Continuing south from Mexico, visit Guatemala. Here, find places across the nation where you can wake to watch the sun rise over Mayan temples and pyramids. See numerous volcanoes across the country and swim in blue-green limestone pools in the isolated area of Semuc Champey.
Snorkel, learn to dive or add to your scuba certifications through dive programmes on Roatan and Utila off the coast of Honduras.
Although Costa Rica is relatively small, the country has 20 national parks. Join an ecotourism tour to observe wildlife and natural vegetation. Watch nesting sea turtles, fish for tarpon and venture into the rainforest.
Nicaragua is a narrow country with beaches on both east and west coasts. Inland, see volcanoes, islets and old Spanish cathedrals. Stay in Granada to kayak on Lago Nicaraugua and visit the Mombacho Volcano.
In Panama, learn about the long and difficult path to the construction of the 48-mile (77-kilometre) Panama Canal. Watch huge ships move through the locks of the 100-year-old structure that enables a marine “shortcut” between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Enjoy the variety of cuisines across the countries. Sample fresh seafood, stuffed empanadas, peppery sauces and desserts made from sweetened milk.
If you’re staying in any Central American country for a lengthy period, take an immersion language programme in Spanish at the beginning of your travels. Since Spanish is the primary language for the entire region, you will be able to speak with friendly local residents as you cross borders between countries.
