I booked a stay for four nights with my spouse, but we left early due to the misleading information provided by the resort and the uncomfortable accommodations. Our expectation was to receive an all-inclusive package, only to discover that it was a scheduled meal. Having traveled all day, we arrived at 3:30 p.m. After asking what food was available until dinner, we were informed there was none. The earliest reservation time available was 6pm, so we would have had to wait until then. Due to our hunger, we ended up paying 60 United States dollars to eat off the premises. At dinner, there was a cat walking around the dining area, despite the hotel's prohibition on pets. Due to my spouse's allergy to cats, we decided to leave the hotel. The next morning at approximately 7 am, we were awakened by staff members talking loudly outside of our room Upon leaving, we were instructed to contact our booking agency to inquire about a refund for the remaining nights. We contacted Ortiz, who informed us that they could not refund us due to the fact that they could not reach the hotel. We have yet to hear from the hotel, even after emailing them to discuss our refund after all our inconvenience. If you plan to stay in this area, I recommend staying at the Hilton, which is about five minutes away from here. Read less
