Hotel Escalante

Our five night October 15th to October 20th was wonderful. The hotel provided the exclusiveness that we desired complimented by superior service. Breakfast was promptly prepared early each morning for us to dine by the pool. The hotel staff meet our every need, from offering chairs for our beach trips, scheduling our spa service to accommodate our "honeymoon schedule" and even making us aware that our rental car tire had a slow leak. This place is a "Best Kept Secret".

This pretentious little place describes itself as a 5-star, quiet, and intimate hotel.

Upon our arrival on February 11/07, we discovered that the place was adjacent to a major construction zone (a condo building is under construction). We were awakened at 7:20 a.m. every morning with the arrival of the construction crew, and the sound of loud trucks moving equipment, etc.

The staff never disclosed this situation to us even though we had made it clear to them that we were looking for a very quiet and restful place. We were charged over $400 per night for this extreme inconvenience.

Under the circumstances, we approached the owner for a discount on our bill, but she refused to do anything. After a few days, we were fortunate to find a much better accommodation right on the beach.
