Although we did not know that much Spanish the staff was very helpful to cater to us and using our phone translator came in handy. The hotel sits on the beach shore which I took a beach walk every morning. There is a small convince store on the property but will be limited on some things. The hotel is not that close to a grocery store but its a 10min cab drive. Was not far from the airport about 10 to 15 mins. The pool was amazing (kiddy pool and adult pool). We were able to pickup a few face towels at the dollar store. I did ask the front desk if any face towels were available and the response was we don't supply those. I did notice that the hotel did not furnish face towels. The rooms had a small sink near the entry door which I'm not sure why, a small closet, small refrigerator which included snacks and drinks (at a cost of course). We didn't have to worry about our luggage the hotel handled all of that. The check in process was very easy and quick. The minute we walked through the door we were treated like family.
