Review of SEETEL Hotel Bahía del Sol ***...

This is a beautiful hotel. With friendly service.

This is a beautiful hotel. With friendly service.

However, it and the surrounding neighborhood has been overrun by Caucasian - American tourists.
If you are looking for something authenticly South American, this is not the place.

Its literally just like a piece of America outside of the US.

I had to request latin music be played on Friday when the DJ arrived because he only played some weird techno instrumental music.

The food was definitely my least favorite. It's bland and made to accommodate a caucasian palate. Nothing was seasoned and the ingredients used were imitation. For example I ordered nachos, they had nacho cheese sauce, black bean puree, and some kind of guacamole puree on them. It was literally the worst nachos I've tasted.

The surrounding neighborhood is the same offerings of Indian food, Japanese food, and American food can be found but nothing authentic or good Latin food.

We walked around to several bars that were all playing rock music or the techno instrumentals similar to the hotel.

Lastly this is not a great place if you are a couple or trying to have a peaceful time. There are lots of families at this hotel and there are no rules of conduct for their behavior. Children over run the pool and jump down off the water fall like it's a diving board. I found this particularly distressing because it's dangerous and could very easily end in injury.

My vote unfortunately is NO for this beautiful place.
