Casa Ybel Resort

Casa Ybel Resort

10/10 Excellent
"The room was really nice and clean. The pool was a good size and there was nar service at the pool. Not sure why, but our room had the fire detectors missing. The staff at the check in desk were not very helpful and were crabby at times. Great access to the beach. Could purchase chairs with an umbrella at the beach but sometimes they were put out around 10 am."
