The property is nice but service is terrible if you need towels or anything delivered to your room it will never get delivered. We were at the pool and they had no towels. Basically the entire hotel had no towels and we were told they were in the laundry. Really don’t expect that from a Marriott.

We had a wonderfulr time at Buenaventura and will come again soon. Our only concern was that the property could use some well deserved repairs. The pool close to the hotel was in disrepair and roof tiles were broken all over the property. We loved the El Faro pool area.

There is so much to do on the property and the proximity to restaurants, beach, and pools is great. We took a shuttle to the other side of the “campus” to eat one night. El Valle an hour up the mountain; would love to come again and check out the area more, fishing, golf, etc.
