Sabatic is a beautiful hotel in a wonderful place. It is a fairly short (15 minutes) stroll to downtown, the train station or the beach, and the hotel and my suite were comfortable, nicely designed and impressive. If you are not much of a walker like me, you can reserve one of their bikes or take their shuttle to the beach or downtown. I should also note that walking back to the hotel is a bit of a chore because it is uphill. You will get a workout!
The front desk staff were also very friendly and helpful.
The only issues I had was initially with the room electricity. You have to use your room key to plug into a wall unit for the lights to work. They didn't tell me this when I checked in and had to have someone come up and show me. They were also rather stingy with wash clothes. We got two at a time which made us have to resort to re-using them instead of constantly trying to request more. I say trying because it can be a challenge finding English speakers. If you are not fluent in Spanish you will periodically have challenges both at the hotel and throughout town. The language barrier was also a problem with room service, and in one instance I had to go down stairs and ask the front desk clerk to help me explain to the room service team what I had requested and not received. They eventually took care of me, but having to go downstairs defeats the purpose of ordering room service.
The only other challenge was only one tv channel was in English (BBC). While I didn't expect many to be in English given it's not their native language, it would have been nice to at least be able to have closed captioning to help translate the shows for me.
All these gripes honestly pale in comparison to the beauty of this place. If absolutely go back in a heartbeat! read more
