Los Jitos Hotel & Suites

They say the rate is $1,139, but charged us $1,400 plus a $300 cash deposit. There was coffee and hot water in the lobby, which was nice. If you're hoping to rest and sleep, though, this isn't the place. Bars nearby play loud music until 3 am.

The rooftop has pools with water slides, and the rooms are affordable, with availability whenever we checked. They're basic, but have what you might need. My room's bathroom was dirty and the decor felt quite dated. We never got the Wi-Fi password, and contacting the front desk was difficult because there was no phone in the room.

The beds were hard as rocks, the restaurant was closed, and beer cans and liquor bottles were scattered around the grounds and pool. It felt like a place for spoiled kids drinking all night until they throw up in the pool, then blasting their loudest music even when three others are playing music too. It's a noise mess, with no respect for older adults. We won't come back.

We stayed just one night with the family, and the place was so-so. The room was supposedly clean, meaning it was just organized, but I woke up covered in little itchy bites. Maybe bed bugs or sand fleas, I don't know. Not a big deal if you're traveling, just a couple thousand little scratchy bites. The showers were nice and hot, the bathroom worked well, and the staff were nice enough.
