TL;DR
Reports vary: many travelers saw almost no mosquitoes over 2 weeks, but guests in certain hotel buildings (especially ground floor) had issues in the evenings, and sprays didn't always help.
Mosquitoes were noticed only once or twice during the whole stay, and only late in the evening (after 11pm) on the terrace. If you avoid sitting outside at night, you barely see any — seems to depend on which building you're in.
Stayed in October — loved the hotel, but mosquitoes were a real problem and insect sprays weren't very effective.
On the second floor of building 2 there were no mosquitoes at all, just occasional moths. Other guests reported mosquitoes specifically on the ground floor — the issue seems to depend on the floor and building.
No mosquitoes encountered at all over two weeks — the room's AC was angled toward the floor, which may have helped keep insects away.
A traveler asked recent guests about the mosquito situation at the hotel — a common concern before booking.
After two weeks at the hotel, the only insects noticed were flies, mostly in the lobby area — no other insect issues.
