Great hotel, but poor maintenance
The hotel is great and the beach and location (Costa Ballena) is amazing. Nevertheless the heating devida at our initial room did not work at all. They managed to hance our room around 23.00hs but as the new room had its working turned off (being a vacant room) it took hours for the new room to get temperature and thus we had a very rough cold night... Apart from this problem (which we understand with a good and diligent maintenance should not have occurred and at least have passed unoticed by hotel staff) the hotel is very good and the staff is very friendly). Breakfast is great by the way.

Great room and location, not adults only pool
We stayed in one of the swim up rooms attached to the adults pool. The room was lovely but I don’t know why it’s called an adults pool when there are more children there than adults. Other than that, the hotel was very nice and in a great location

6/10 Good

Nice but could've been better.
Hotel was nice, however, with our room being placed on the ground floor, we were able to hear some event that involved some man talking into a microphone and children running up and down the halls, laughing and yelling until almost midnight. The room was clean, but there was no comforter on the bed so it got cold through the night having only a single sheet to cover up with.
