Caveat: I have not stayed in other hotels in Bolivia, and have not stayed in many "luxury" hotels in developing countries, so my review is a biased one from a middle-class American perspective. That said, I have backpacked at hostels, and stayed at luxury Ritz Carltons before, so I do have a range to compare to. I do not know what the rest of Bolivian accommodations are like though.
This hotel is marketed as a luxury resort & spa, and the first impression of the external structures roughly matches that -- maybe a low end resort & spa in the US. The lobby is clean and new, and there are several clean pool areas.
However, the rooms are not very nice. They are designed to be large and spacious like luxury accommodations (we stayed in a 4-room suite), but the details are truly low-rate ... I would say much worse than your average Howard Johnson, or even possibly an American motel 6. The drains in the bathrooms have little bits of dirt on them, and have a slight sewage smell ... but that is the case in most buildings in developing tropical countries. The furniture is screwed into weak plaster walls. The fans are loud, and the vents have dirt/dust on them. The towels are thin and scratchy. The shower upstairs is weak and has a standard cheap shower head. The shower downstairs has a tile floor that has dirt in the grout. The sliding door to the balcony had no lock -- it had broken off, and was not fixed despite several requests over a week. The kitchen is small, old, and musty. The couches are old and scratchy.
Basically, this place is a relatively clean place for a developing country, but do not expect "resort & spa." I was happy staying there because I expected to be staying at low-rate local hotels, and was here to work ... but I would be very unhappy taking a vacation here expecting a resort experience. For a budget trip, it would not be worth the cost to stay here.
The pools were clean, the buffet breakfasts were decent (not great, but not bad ... and the fruit was excellent), and the staff was friendly. There were 3 computers for free internet, and free internet at the lobby and snack bar areas. In-room wifi cost 80 Bolivianos (about US$11) for 3 days.
