They rent out the roof top terrace for private events for non guests that are loud and go until 4:00 am. Do not expect to be able to use all facilities or sleep when they do this.

Nice hotel with great location at the south end of the playa el rodadero. Very friendly staff. Good breakfast. The biggest swimming pool is not for the customers use and that's the only negative part of that hotel. Price and quality matching.

Afterthought
Friendly staff. Clean room. It seems they have a lot of private events throughout the hotel with music and microphones blaring and seems the guest become an afterthought. There was a lot of machine cutting construction one night around 11pm spoke to front desk and didn’t reply immediately, 20 minutes or so after they replied with will ask them when they will finish, no consideration to guest.
