Doesn’t have a working phone number
The hotel was nice enough for the area. Although we got the larger King Room which is still pretty small. Our problem wasn’t with the property itself. El Centro is super fun for a couple days but the area incredibly busy and not much to do other than eat at restaurants and drink at bars.
We requested to cancel the reservation on day two of eight so that we could move another resort with beach access that wasn’t stuffed into the walled city. I was fully willing to pay for an extra night or two so that we weren’t canceling less than 24 hours in advance. I talked to the front desk who said it was fine I just needed to cancel with Expedia. Expedia said the policy was for no refund after check in. However, Expedia has always been good about just calling the hotel and they normally waive any fees and refund unused nights.
This wasn’t the case, Voila doesn’t have an operational phone number. They have a What’s App but Expedia refuses to call through what’s app. It was incredibly disappointing that Voila is part of the Hotels.com network yet they don’t have a phone number. I’m not sure how that one slipped through the cracks…
We ended up booking at a Hilton Resort on Bocogrande that was 1,000 times better. Still no word on a refund for the rest of our stay at Voila.

Excellent stay
Excellent place, very convenient location, staff is amazing, service amazing highly recommend it. Just note it is a busy area and has some working ladies outside walking the streets regularly. They don’t bother you and they didn’t bother us so it was fine.

The property was well presented, staff were friendly and the location is excellent.
Was a little disappointed that my shirt went missing. I realised after checkout that I left it on the bed. The cleaners had gone through the room since and the shirt was no where to be found. The air conditioning was also very noisy.
