need help with hotel choice

I would suspect this is the case. And this is a sister hotel to the Cantos del Sol, so you will have all inclusive and use of the pool across the street.
If you stay here pay the extra money and get poolside, otherwise they will put you in a room over top a shopping complex with asloutley no view or window facing out at all... I had no complaint about the room, it was maybe old and dated, but kept clean.

I stay at Canto Del Sol every year and I agree... get one beside the pool... it is older but clean... and usually its cheaper to stay their then at Canto Del Sol...
