La Residencia

Staff was extremely pleasant & incredibly helpful! Nefty was the very best in every aspect!!! She should get a big raise for everything she does to acclimate & accommodate the guests.

Blue Buddha is an extremely dark accommodation!!! The unit was clean enough but became unacceptable & uncomfortable when bath & pool towels never dried out for the entire stay since there is NO patio to dry things. Using wet towels after showering isn’t very sanitary. There is absolutely NO light entering this unit.

Location , decoration , comfortable and the views from the swimming pool.

Lack of air condition in the common areas

the location and the rooftop pool

the room needs more light fixtures since there is no natural light from outside and the decor is quite dark. it would also help if the loose floor boards were screwed down tightly.

Location was perfect. Better end of PDC. Decor was nice. Good facilities for price. Great food and bar outside accommodation. Quiet.

needed minor maintence.

Loved how close it was to the beach and that you're close to the action in terms of restaurants, markets, etc. The roof top patio was great to sit on and relax. They even had large outdoor beds for lounging. Enjoyed the balcony and view of lush trees. Wifi was excellent. Bonus there was TV and some streaming services (for when it rained). Close to a grocery store. Other guests were friendly and respectful.

The price was significantly more than I expected when booking through booking.com First off, the price switch from CAD to USD when I went to checkout (I hadn't realized the currency changed). I saw the price, and read "plus taxes and fees", so when I went to check out I wasn't surprised to see the price increase slightly. But what was not clear - was that the price (with taxes +) was showing in USD, even though I had selected CAD and was viewing CAD pricing when I selected the hotel. I only discover the conversion/ change when I saw my bank account showed over $300 (when I had read "$200 all in.") Then on top of that, at the final booking the site showed that I would be refunded $23 when I arrived at the hotel, so the price read $200, but the site said I'd be charged $223 then be refunded that extra amount- and I never was refunded. $23 normally wouldn't matter much, but when I realized the price, and this extra unexplained fee were in USD it meant I was now out of my budget for the hotel. Overall the place was musty and damp. Nothing dried. There was a large creaky floor board that was annoying. There were blood stains on the sheets - looked washed, but still wish they were cleaned better. The shower needed a more thorough clean also. The roof top pools were slimy and had no running water / no jets. There was toilet paper in one of the pools. The hot tubs didn't seem usable either. The dish rack was moldy and the dish wear / cupboards smelt.

The pillows were dirty and stained
