Great location just a 5 minute walk to town. The room we had was quite large with lots of room in front of the bed to move around. Having the pool was a big bonus and the 4 outdoor kitchens (plus the two indoor) gave everyone room to spread out. Bianca at check-in did a great job showing us around the property and giving us a quick tour of the town on a huge map just outside the lobby office, nice touch!

Noisy when windy
Every thing was pleasant enough
The room is terribly decorated and the noise of the roof at night with the wind kept me up all night
The staff was nice and everything was very clean

Bad experience at the end of my stay, do to the parking lot, someone parked a car behind mine and I couldn't find the owner of the car, and the office hours forvthe hotel opens at 9
The room was interior with no windows and no air conditioning. It was a cell at over $70 a night cash only. I decided to leave and they wouldn’t give me my money back. There is no restaurant. Only Spanish is spoken. Music blares until curfew at midnight.
It was an atrocity that cost $200 cash for one night and they wouldn’t give me a receipt
No cuentan con punto de venta no lo dice en las referencias del hostal, solo pagos en efectivo, esto me afecto el presupuesto ya que hiba a pagar con tarjeta de crédito.
No estan ofreciendo desayuno por lo del COVID, deberían informarlo ya que mis reservas siempre las hago que ofrezcan el
desayuno.
Pero en general para el precio qué pague me pareció bien el área social es bonita puedes llevar tus alimentos y prepararlos en sitio, las cocinas son completas y bonitas. También deberían informar que tienen cocinas.
Bastante mal.
Según la reserva incluía desayuno para dos que luego nos dijeron que no había por el COVID. Sin avisar!
Había cocinas pero no había ningún utensilio para cocinar lo que la hacía inservible.
Todo bastante descuidado.
La chica de recepción nunca estaba en recepción

buen aspecto,aun que las camas no son buenas, al igual se dice en la descripción que se ofrece el desayuno, no obstante al llegar te dicen que el desayuno fue cancelado. bad
Cuarto y hotel conforme a lo que hemos reservado pero falta un buen servicio. De seguro El recepcionista no quería trabajar. Nada de amabilidad, ningún consejo ... Desayuno reservado no disponible.. y no se puede dejar el equipaje después del check out...

Mi experiencia
Mi experiencia en cuanto al lugar y sus alrededores fue todo un encanto pero en la habitación hacia mucha calor y con todo eso que afuera es frío considero que deben de arreglar sus abanicos de techo y cuando hay reuniones que se respete el sueño de los demás se supone que hay políticas en el lugar y hubo un grupo de personas que no dejaron dormir... pero el lugar y la instalación es muy acogedora yo lo recomiendo
