Samantha from besthotelslima.net
The view of the bay was amazing and the location was excellent. We had access to a private beach across the street and enjoyed kayaking and paddleboarding, which were offered at the hotel. There were also plenty of restaurants and bike rentals nearby. The pool, although not large, was comfortable for our group, and the breakfast was pretty good.
Nothings: Unpleasant front desk person, dripping water and closed drain in the tub, inadequate towels, and maids' carts blocking the walkways. Lack of friendliness from the staff.

The location of this hotel was perfect for me. It was right in the middle of everything, with easy access to the beach across the road and the bay where I could enjoy kayaking and biking. The hotel facilities were great, with free rentals of kayaks and bikes, which made it convenient for me to explore the area. The staff were friendly and accommodating, always ready to help. Another highlight was the delicious breakfast they served, which was the best I've had at any hotel. the cleanliness, facilities, parking, transportation, and location were all top-notch.
Nothing that I didn't like.
We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The cleaning staff were very sweet, always providing clean towels and a trash bag when we requested, even though we opted out of having our room cleaned. The room had a great view overlooking the main street, bars, and the beautiful beach. It was also very clean and the bed was comfortable. The hotel provided a bag of ice for us since their ice machine wasn't working, which was a nice touch. The breakfast service was excellent, with the Saturday breakfast attendant, Elizabeth, being particularly friendly and helpful. The hotel's lobby breakfast area was also impressive. The pool area was open and enjoyable, and even though we couldn't use the free kayaks, bikes, and paddle boards due to the rain, we appreciated the hotel offering them.
Nothing not to love.
The location was excellent, with the main beaches and great restaurants nearby. We loved the free paddle boards, kayaks, and bikes, which made exploring the area so much fun. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with a beautiful pool area and a cozy fireplace area. The staff, especially Elizabeth, went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome. She greeted us for breakfast, made our waffles, and even helped with the kids. We truly felt like valued guests.
Absolutely nothing to say about dislikes.
