Would stay again just for the Pool and the Restaurant.

The Location is amazing with great views and it’s very quiet.

The Pool is the greatest asset they have. The room I had was nice it’s old style lots of stuff in the room and a bit dark , could use some upgrading of the Building (walls, doors, windows).

Beautiful location and authentic

Early in the morning, around 7 am, on a Saturday, we got wake up with the sound of a leaves blower. Not nice for sure.

Would not recommend the hotel at all.

The view.

From our room we could hear the restaurant’s bathroom right beneath us and people with diarrhea. We could hear everything that was said downstairs in the corridor and the restaurant and it disrupted our sleep. Even so, we couldn’t sleep much because the mattress was too soft and it hurt our backs. Dinner was terrible, cooked with reused oil which gave us indigestion. During breakfast we got a fruit plate with rotten fruit which they then exchanged for a new plate and the eggs were cooked in the same old oil, again giving us indigestion. After voicing our experience just to let them know what it was like they the offered to reimburse us. We did not ask for a reimbursement but would have appreciated it. Even so, they then proceeded not to reimburse us and are now ignoring my texts.

La ubicación el cuidado que brindan a la naturaleza. Ubicaciones y estructuras que se ven cuidadas. Personal muy atento. Los restaurantes visitados deliciosas comidas y bebidas.

Todo fue bastante aceptable y lo agradezco.
