Ok Stay. Service Was Not Good
This was our first time staying here, and it was for my birthday weekend, celebrating with family. Unfortunately, from the moment we arrived, the service at the front desk, poolside, and the restaurant was disappointing. Although our group was large, we’re experienced travelers and always tip well, especially since many of us have worked in restaurants and food service. However, the majority of the staff provided poor service, with a few exceptions who were kind and accommodating. Overall, the experience was underwhelming, and I’m not sure if I would choose to stay here again. On a positive note, the pool was lovely. Construction was happening all in the entrance. Parking was easy. There is a large parking lot across from the hotel.

A great place to stay
We had a modern room that over looked the pool. The car park across the road was easy to access and though reception was busy, we had access to the room an hour earlier than expected which was great.

6/10 Good

I’d usually give it 5 stars but this time was different. There was a new employee I hadn’t seen there before and he was rude!! Also, our bathroom door had an issue and we had to tell them 3 days straight in order to get someone to come to just take a look. Not the experiences I’ve had before at all. Usually everyone is super nice, attentive and friendly, not this time though.

I always enjoy my at San Nicolas Hotel . It's the only place I stay now . I tried many other hotels and they weren't bad but this has become my favorite . I feel safe , my vehicle is secure and the staff is always friendly . I love the olympic size pool which is well maintained . The only thing I am not happy about is if you're in the pool and want to order a drink , the waiters rarely come around and It takes way too long to get your drinks . That is the only unaccceptable practice poolside . I am not talking about an isolated incident . Even when there are only a few people poolside . I have to hunt down the waiters . That is something that has to be addressed . Other than that complaint , I love the place !
