We experience the most awful vacation time ever. Rooms: Our room was not ready for guests. The bedspreads were wet and so were the sheets. There were no towels in the bathroom and the minibar was empty. We were locked out of the room three times and finally maintenance came to repair the lock. There were bugs on the beds.... more

The hotel transfer was an additional $20 per person via the website. The tourist card ($10 on entry) and departure tax ($20) was included... more
