It was a beautiful hotel, which is why we chose it, based on the pictures. The pool area was gorgeous, with little thatched roofs (palapas) over the tables and chairs and chaise lounges. The only problem was that the bedding was uncomfortable and the room was in need of renovation. Bathroom was tiled in blue ceramic tiles from the 1960s. Some might like it for the retro look, however. We had an amazing breakfast at the restaurant-Pach's Place-which adjoins the hotel but is run by a separate company. I had avocado toast, which was the best I ever had. The fresh squeezed orange juice was worth the extra charge--go ahead and splurge!
