They have a TON of security watching you and they treat you like second class citizens even but won't do anything poolside and will keep giving drinks to obviously already inebriated people, that end up barfing, spitting, pouring beer in the pool, throwing in pool furniture, falling on people trying to enjoy a quiet relaxing time... but when to ask security and staff do something they will only watch and do nothing. The pool is SMALL and it is NOT a family pool. What is the point of having all this"security" when they can't even keep people safe. The girl hit her head several times and with her drunk she could have had a serious accident. I didn't even bother to go in. I work in hotels in the US and our rules are for a purpose and to add to have been charged a $15 Gin and tonic in Ecuador?! Talk about inflation. Upon check out today not even a "how was your stay?" Or during dinner ask if i wanted coffee or dessert? It was a pointless stay and i just went downstairs to Listo and wish I cut my time there short. Stay at the the Wyndham or Oro Verde they actually listen to their guests. And you're less likely to catch a horrible disease from the pool.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel area is safe and convenient. The only thing we don’t like was that they let some guests blast their music in their room. It was so loud and not necessary.
