The service at the Altera Hotel was solid, on a solid 4. Towels were changed every three days, sheets once a week. Wishes were almost always fulfilled. Without cons, too, was not done. The beach is far away and there are constantly parties on it, which is interesting for young people, but not for me, a pensioner. But we were not very lucky with the weather (the cyclone went, the clouds and rain came), so we did not go to the beach much. During our vacation, the salsa and bachata festival was held, the hotel staff helped to issue tickets. It was interesting to attend this master class and dance. I wish the owners of the hotel complex good guests.

We paid for accommodation on the spot, there were no delays in registration. The hosts, as well as all the hotel staff, were welcomed warmly. The hotel consists of three identical buildings with rooms of different sizes. It turned out that our rooms were in different buildings, but the administration quickly went to meet and placed us in two adjacent rooms in the first building, for which they are very grateful. There were no kettles in the rooms, and at our request we were immediately given. I was surprised that there was no soap and hairdryer in the bathroom. The sanitary equipment was worn out, but everything worked flawlessly, the water was hot and cold without interruption. As for the food. Breakfast was included in the room rate. The food is homemade, varied and delicious. Portions correspond to the price – small, but enough is enough for us. The dining room has a playroom for children, cots and high chairs.
