I had a delightful experience at Na Balam, located just a few steps from the stunning Playa Norte. The rooms are spacious and well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay. The staff were generally nice and accommodating, though service could be slow at times. The breakfast setup was rather awkward since it required walking to another hotel, which was a bit inconvenient. Overall, it's a lovely spot but could improve in some areas to justify higher prices.

I had high hopes for my stay at Na Balam, especially with its prime location near Playa Norte and cozy atmosphere. However, the overall experience left much to be desired. While the grounds were peaceful and the beach access was fantastic, the rooms felt outdated and not quite worth the price. Additionally, the dining options were rather limited and awkward. The staff showed friendliness, but improvements in service and amenities are needed for the price point.

The hotel is located right by the beautiful Playa Norte, giving easy access to beach activities and nice views during breakfast. The rooms are decent in size but had maintenance issues, and the noise from nearby boats can be distracting. While the staff at the hotel is welcoming, the dining options could be more exciting. Overall, it provides a good base for exploring the island, but it could use some updates to really impress.
