“You don't have to stay here to benefit from the views ”
The location is great, on a hill overlooking both bays and Yunque. Remember you don't have to stay there to be able to use the bar/restaurant and benefit from the views. We heard good reviews of Casas. The new part of the hotel have balconies and face out over Yunque and the bay. It's a stunning view particularly at sunset. However, these rooms have adjoining doors with no sound insulation so we had to move when the family with crying baby moved in next door. The rooms in the old part are adjacent to the pool and bar area and have views of the town. Not as spectacular views as the new part. In the end, after our tour of alternative rooms we got a room in the new part with no view and no joining door Room 120. However it was significantly dirtier than the first room we had. Even when we complained it only marginally improved. Is there any excuse for dirty rooms? On our first day we had to wait 6 hours for towels. So, if you have to...then chose your room with care.
