I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The highlight was the friendly staff who genuinely cared about our stay. The location is great, just a short walk to the Malecon and Old Town. However, our room was quite noisy due to street sounds, which made it hard to sleep. The dining options were disappointing as well, with limited choices and some unpleasant experiences with the food quality.

Our stay at the hotel was quite an experience, with a unique atmosphere influenced by a labor situation upon our arrival. On the plus side, the small size of the resort made it easy to navigate, and the pools were never crowded. However, we faced some challenges with the dated lounge chairs and an unreliable internet connection. Overall, our time there was enjoyable, and we're looking forward to returning, hoping for a few improvements.

We had a fantastic vacation at Buenaventura! The staff made us feel welcomed and valued, especially Leobardo at the lobby bar who created unique drinks for my son. The Sunset restaurant offered delicious meals with beautiful views, though I wish there were smoke-free areas for families. Despite some small room sizes, we appreciated the great location near the Malecon and the overall value for our two-week stay. We definitely look forward to returning!
