Beautiful and relaxing! The view was spectacular and the staff was simply the best! Very kind, very helpful and very pleasant!!
Everyone and everything was absolutely amazing. The hotel is stunning. Service is 10 out of 10. The breakfast was cooked to perfection every morning. My girlfriend and I will miss the green juice and coffee every morning. Highly recommend
This place exceeded our expectations. The staff were amazing and so helpful. The view is spectacular. It was a short walk to the centro and malacon. The property is a gem, very comfortable and has lots of spaces to sit and chill. Loved the welcome Marg too. Look forward to a return visit.

First, five minutes after I made the reservation I had questions so I called, but the hotel was not open until 8am CST. No one answered the phone until 915 CST. We decided to make the reservation here because of the accommodations that were listed on Expedia and due to my mothers health conditions. We arrive at the location after going through a process of figuring out the area because it is a bit reclusive. We arrive at the location to find out that three days before we had arrived that the kitchen staff and bar staff contract had been terminated. This was a huge concern for us, because anything nearby for eating was 2 miles away, at least. The person that received us said he would cancel the reservation because it did not meet what the accommodations that were listed on Expedia were no longer available. We only decided to stay there because the accommodation fit the things that my mother needed to accommodate her diabetic concerns. We had to go to the next town to locate something very last minute with no reservations. We booked it and called the hotel services at Donaire. But the hostile and not customer friendly Mariana at the front counter backed out of what was said earlier and would not cancel the hotel reservation. I pleaded with her with all sincerity and the only thing she took with pride was to tell me how much she was sorry, but she couldn’t cancel it. This place false advertise their services. It’s like take it or leave it once you’re there. Please be careful.

Room was nice and it was clean, but the TV did not work, the hot water took 30 minutes running to actually come out, but the shower drain was plugged so I had to take a super fast shower cause the water was going to spill out since it ran for so long. The front desk closes at 10pm so there was no one at the desk to tell about the tv and shower issues. It was 9pm when we checked in and wanted to have dinner or something to eat but once we got there they tell us the restaurant was not in service due to contract issues so there was no food in the hotel to purchase at all. We Gad to go back downtown to find out everything was closed already. Also the property is up in the top hill hidden away, very odd location and unsafe. Additionally the Property is under construction and made a mess of our car with dust. I would not stay here again. Just the location alone was a huge disappointment and then to add all the other issues made it awful. The room we got had a nice view of the city but sadly we didn’t enjoy our stay.
We had a lovely stay. It was a large room with a great view of the city. The daily breakfast in the restaurant was excellent. We ate dinner twice in the restaurant and both times was delicious.
The place is nice the pool is smaller than the pictures the food is amazing but the service in the pool area bad nobody around to order drinks and food they need someone in that area ..
Beautiful boutique hotel, friendly staff. Welcoming delicious margaritas! The room was very nice with balcony facing the lake to enjoy your drink. Relaxing and very clean pool, everything was perfect! Highly recommend to stay here if you are visiting Ajiji, which btw is a beautiful town!
