“In my opinion, the hotel is a family-friendly option given its proximity to the beach in the Bocagrande area. I think its VIP rooms with ocean views are a great advantage, along with diverse dining and wellness options. However, some guests have reported inconsistent service, which I consider a point to keep in mind.”
