But other than that I was satisfied with the villa each room has their own bathroom and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook you do need to bring your own seasonings if you’re planning on cooking but the place was super clean will definitely recommend"

Costarena Beach Hotel
"Recepción: trato jovial y con energía y atenciones positiva"
Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo - Hyatt Inclusive Collection - All Inclusive
"This hotel needs an update. Bathroom area needs a refresh, especially the shower stall. The TV in the bedroom was a 29" diagonal, too small for today's standards. The Buffett offerings were good, the food quality was average. Don't order fruit juices at lunch or dinner, you will receive concentrated beverages not natural fruit juices. The front desk staff, the cleaning staff and the rest of the hotel personnell did a great job making you fell wellcomed. The location of this hotel is great. I thought the general pool was too small for the amount of guests that were registered during our visit."
