Zippers Cheap Hotels

"This hotel was amazing. Staff all were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean. They really do treat you like family always with a great attitude. Ismael at the restaurant Panchos was awesome we would always ask for him be the just made us feel comfortable. I do recommend this hotel."

"Honestly, this resort took me by absolute surprise. From the beginning it was clean, everyone was so friendly, the buffet food and poolside tacos were really good and it was close by to the tours and activities we had planned. We were here for my sisters bachelorette weekend and the housekeeping staff ended up leaving a bottle of champagne in our room for us which was such a nice touch. There is no shortage of pool space for every age group and the views of the ocean are absolutely stunning. 10/10 would come back again and highly recommend! "

"Overall we had a wonderful stay. I feel with a few improvements this place could be a lot better. At check-in staff did not give information on dinning options or times, where to get pool/ beach towels, themes or activities that went on throughout the week, and how to get around property. Rooms and property were very clean, but outdated and worn down. Most of the staff were friendly, but you definitely received better service if you tipped money especially at the start of service (poolside and dinning). Our housekeeper for the week left a note on our last night, kindly asking for a tip. Our two daughters went for dinner, the waiter asked them for a tip. The app where you make reservations for restaurants and shuttle, was slightly misleading with fine print of charges for dinning at the restaurant. When you reserve a time for the shuttle there is a “ I have read and accept terms and conditions” button you have to select before you can reserve, but not for the dinning where you will be charged. The “i have read and agree to terms.” should be both places for shuttle and dinner reservations. Sushi was really good. Buffet could be better. I loved the beachfront and swimmable ocean. "

"We loved our stay at Sandos. The property itself is a really nice size. We really liked the layout and the architecture of the buildings being built right into the side of the cliff. The views at the top were spectacular. We especially enjoyed our mornings outside the Cupcake coffee bar. Every restaurant was delicious and the service was top notch. Our days by the pool were nice an relaxing with good energy coming from the entertainment staff and the great playlists! It is definitely not a party resort like some of the other larger ones in the area, which for us we a great thing, but if I was younger and looking for a great night life, it would be dissapointing. We will definitely be back! "

"The front lobby area is a let down compared to the rest of the property. It feels chaotic, however the service is excellent. We loved the beach area the most. Some of the people were getting over served at the poolside swim up bar. It became so loud we could hear them at the beach. It was spring break timeframe. The servers at every meal were excellent. The food was very good. We would stay again. "

"Everything was great just the food can be a little better quality. But over all great place to stay and enjoy a good time. "

"This property was perfect condition with prior ownership. Now that Hilton owns it you can tell that it's deteriorating and the quality overall has gone down including service. "

"Excellent location on the Marina. Very clean rooms and pool area. Lovely spa experience with my massage. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Didn’t do AI but few poolside things I had were good and breakfast at Los Deseos was fantastic, both the food and the ambiance. Nice change from restaurants blasting loud music "

"I really wanted to love this place, but after our stay I walked away with some serious mixed feelings and I am honestly not sure I would return. The staff was absolutely excellent and every person we encountered was friendly and attentive, and the views from the property were also quite beautiful. The coffee bar was fantastic and quickly became our favorite spot each morning. However, the hotel food was disappointing and fell well below what we expected. The better on-site restaurants had very limited seating and operated within short windows, which created a situation where guests were standing in line waiting for dinner at 4:30 in the afternoon, which is not the relaxing vacation experience anyone hopes for. The family pool was freezing cold and guests were allowed to claim the already limited lounge chairs by simply placing a towel on them even when they were nowhere around, making it nearly impossible to find a spot for your belongings. The adult pool was a much better experience and we recommend heading there instead. The mattresses in the rooms felt like sleeping on concrete slabs, making it very hard to get a decent night of rest after a long day. There are some enjoyable elements here but between the food, the dinner lines, the pool situation, and the uncomfortable beds, it is hard to give a strong recommendation and I am not sure we would make the trip back."
