Review of Hauna Prince Hotel Salon

- Location, perfect. Awesome beach to go snorkelin...

- Location, perfect. Awesome beach to go snorkeling and see all the little fishies and get salty water into your snorkel.
- Room (Tower 3, #3113), nice. Outdated (90's interior) but spacious, ocean view, you can walk to the beach and pool.
- Restaurants, good but expensive. But eh 4 star hotel
- Staff, really friendly.
- Parking. Valet (probs expensive) or self park. Self park is included in fee.
- Welcoming gift card (privileges card) for discount on different stuff (like dinner at the hotel's restaurant and breakfast)

Bonus - You can play Sprinkler Mario at night on the lawn in front of tower 3.

The not so perfect:

TL;DR - Expensive hotel, Mariott took over. Remodeling and construction taking place. Very noisy.

This Hotel is being remodeled, upgraded and what not as Marriott took over. A lot of construction is taking place near the main
entrance. They're building an infinity pool. Which is fantastic if you re coming here march next year (2018).
We booked this hotel via a vacation booking agent thingamabob. No idea why they didn't see the huge sign on their website
warning you about the construction.. So not the hotels fault. Also high season is over so I understand that why they are
doing it right now. Most of the rooms are empty right now, and some parts of the hotel feel like a ghost town.

Eventually all the digging, scraping, drilling becomes background noise. I don't even hear it anymore. I am now deaf.. nah just kidding.
But I do feel sorry for the guest that are staying in the rooms right next to the construction site and wake up to a CAT digger
moving.. did I type moving? I meant REALLY HIGH PITCHED SCREETCHING CRAWLING.

Almost forgot. You have to pay a fee for every day you spend at the hotel. Didn't know that. It's around 40 bucks if I recall correctly. In return you get balls. Oh yes. 2 free golf balls a day. 2 bottles of water delivered to your room by the friendly cleaning lady. Complementary snorkelling gear for an hour (you can get them at the pool).

Would I recommend this Hotel? Absolutely! It's (going to be) gorgeous. If you ADORE construction noises do book a room
right now! If you don't, wait until after march 2018.
