Heads up
- Repetitive menu after a few days
- Single restaurant strains at peak times

Amenities & activities
Couples
StretchA homey, low-key pick for couples who want quiet over glamour; honeymooners have raved, but dated rooms and inconsistent service can dent a milestone trip.
medium confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Peaceful, romantic beachfront setting
- Warm staff who help arrange tours
- Ocean-view bungalows on upper floors
- Sunset atmosphere praised
Heads up
- Aging rooms undercut anniversary splurges

Good fitMarketed as family-friendly and many families enjoy the calm, fish-filled shoreline, but missing kid basics like high chairs and some cleanliness slips frustrate parents.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Calm beach with fish to spot
- Family atmosphere, multiple pools
- Activities and evening entertainment
- Away from noisy downtown
Heads up
- No high chairs in dining room
- Shared bathrooms reported during room issues
- Rooms sometimes not ready, long waits
Peace & Quiet
StandoutThis is the quiet Decameron: set on tranquil San Luis away from the downtown bustle, ideal for guests who prize rest over resort theatrics.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Peaceful location away from downtown
- Homey, low-key atmosphere
- Calm beachfront
- Restful pool areas
Heads up
- Occasional loud personal speakers in public areas

What past guests say
“The bedroom curtain was very dirty, and the room smelled quite musty. The hotel service leaves much to be desired, although some staff members are friendly and provide good service. They need to significantly improve room cleanliness and customer service, as some employees are occasionally rather rude to guests. Overall, the experience was mediocre. While there were some positive aspects, I wouldn't choose this hotel again.”
★★☆☆☆
“The use of loudspeakers is terrible. I don't understand what the guests' competition is for using such high volume. It's a place to have fun and relax, but everything should be done respectfully.”
★★★★☆
“Excellent service, spectacular room, and very good food.”
★★★★★
“Everything is nice, but the problem is the charge they make for using the hotel for one day. They give you the rooms at 3 pm, but if you arrive early, they charge you extra per person to use the restaurant and other services. I don't think that's right. You pay for a day, and you can wait without any problem as long as you can use the services mentioned.”
