Es ese tipo de diseño "moderno" que se ve muy bien en las fotos de las revistas, pero que olvida por completo la palabra privacidad.​Lo bueno: Quiero destacar la atención excepcional del personal. A pesar de que hubo un corte de energía, se esforzaron al máximo y nos escoltaron a nuestra habitación en cuanto fue posible. Su profesionalismo es lo mejor del hotel. ​Lo malo (y la razón de mi calificación): El diseño de la habitación es sumamente incómodo y falto de privacidad. El baño no tiene una puerta sólida; solo cuenta con una puerta de vidrio que no llega hasta el techo y no tiene seguro. ​Para un viaje familiar (en mi caso, con un sobrino adolescente), es una situación muy vergonzosa: ​Falta de pudor: La puerta de vidrio de la regadera deja todo a la vista.Acústica nula: Se escucha absolutamente todo desde el baño hacia la habitación, lo cual es muy desagradable. ​El peor detalle: Hay un espejo en la pared de la habitación que por la falta de puerta , si estás sentado en la cama, refleja directamente todo el interior del baño. Si alguien se está cambiando se ve todo. ​Conclusión: Es una lástima que el excelente servicio del personal se vea opacado por un diseño arquitectónico tan poco funcional. No recomiendo este hotel si viajas con alguien que no sea tu pareja, e incluso así, la falta de privacidad es excesiva.

For starters the staff was horrible, the hotel was a hot mess. As soon as we arrived i was informed they charged my card for half the cost since they were gonna be busy they wanted to make sure they secured my room!!! That was a horrible thing to do. Then the rude staff Itzel said the pool was broken, not working when I told her that was part of the reason I booked there she said, do you want the room or not? So rude. I wanted to leave but had no other hotel so I don’t want to risk it. After that the room was not as pictured, the room phones were not working so every time I needed something I had to go down to ask and they were so rude. The QR code on the mirror didn’t work. TheTV was horrible, outdated, channels don’t work, WIFi didn’t work, they dias the kitchen was open until 10 pm and it was a lie, they had us go know on the kitchen door and the rude man said he had no service and went to told the front staff off. Then told ng husband why he complained!! Omg it was a horrible experience! Never again staying there or at any hotel with your name.

Los puertas de el baño y el shower son cristales opacados y no dan privacidad si estás compartiendo habitación doble con una amistad familiar es muy incómodo, se puede escuchar todo cuando una persona orina o suspira en la taza de el baño y también se puede ver la silueta y sombra cuando están haciendo de el baño igual en la regadera.
