Room was clean, just needed repainting. Water took forever to get warm. Staff were courteous. Parking was extremely limited. In room coffee maker would have been nice.

If you dont mind to use the toilet with your partner able to see you pick room #7. The door doesnt close due to the bed being too close to the door. The bed cannot be moved. The air conditioning was leaking water. Only tiny drops. Im not the type to complaint so i didnt bother, slept to opposite side. Even though all rooms were occupied in 3 days the pool wasnt maintained, the waterfiltering was off so i didnt use it. I Never use a pool if water filtering system is not working. For the price you can stay, its walking distance to Oregano restaurant (breakfast & early dinning). 5 minutes to closing continental breakfast, my pregnant wife and i wouldve appreciated at least coffee. Not a simple sorry we're closed for breakfast! Curtesy is always appreciated. It doenst matter if you stay in Zoa (Michellin star winner) or here....what really matter is how you are treated were you stay. Casa kalmar offers coffee all day, heated pool until 11pm, soft music morning hours. Best stay overall.
The hotel was handy to the adoquin and close to a place where I had a meeting scheduled. The pool water was clean (not cloudy) but there was a lot of debris floating in it, ie, palapa grass pieces and a cigarette butt. The tv only had 3 Sky TV channels.
The room and view was amazing. The A/C worked awesome and the staff was very welcoming. Would stay there again, breakfast was 5 star quality. The restaurant staff was also 5 star.

Not enough towels in the two rooms, nor toilet paper. (Which was not new rolls) Drunk people around the pool with loud music.
Beautiful hotel, but the staff unhelpful and the environment not the best.
Super basic. Expensive. Need updating. Nickel and dimed for everything. Def won’t ever return.

I really was disappointed with this property. Pictures looks great on the expedia website but it's something way different when you there. Pool looks unkept and dirty, same as all the tables and chairs, seems that they have a lot deffer maintenance. Not recommend to anyone at all.

The property has poor customer service. Hot water was intermittent. Shower drain was clogged. Issues reported were not resolved.

Worse hotel I’ve stayed in. Terrible customer service. Only got two towels, for three of us. We needed more toilet paper on our third day, I asked the receptionist if they could give us more, he was very rude and said we could only get one in a day. Which they didn’t refill. Terrible place.
I didn’t like that the food service would take a long time and sometimes they would forget. Also, the internet was really slow. But other than that, everything was good!
