Terrible experience not with the hotel but with Expedia. I had issues with the fly that was cancelled by airline and The Penguin Hotel Kindly charged just one night instead 3 nights I showed evidence to Expedia multiple times with text messages sent by hotel but no luck with Expedia. This is not acceptable. Thank you

Incredibly kind and helpful reception! We were able to see a permanent resident (brindle cat) every day by the president. Additionally, the water pressure was incredibly powerful. Perfect after a long day at the beach/pool. The only downside was that housekeeping could be more frequent, but you are more than welcome to request it.

When you check in, the cost of the stay will double with extra fees that aren't shown when booking the room. If this was shown before we would have stayed at a different hotel.

The hotel area is really good accessible for everything. But staff confuses us about the free breakfast. We went to president hotel and the staff there said we need to proceed at the other restaurant which is beside the penguin hotel and we went there and the food is really limited. And we ask the fromt and said it should be at the president. We went back and fort cause of the staff are pointing us which we need to go for breakfast.

Big Disaster.
Everything it says on the hotel website was a fake, it was stated that the breakfast and the beach towels comes with hotel fee which was a big lie , even if you have to open your wine bottle you have to go to the other hotel . The room was so tiny that you don't even have enough space to walk . I wouldn't recommend anyone to visit this hotel , it was a big upset .
