We had 4 nights and 5 days and was just as beautiful as it was said to be on the listing. The people and the management are so kind and so responsive they only add to the charm of the whole experience. We hope to come back to the same spot again soon. We found the entire area to great place to get away and soak up beautiful Mexico. ##### Drew F.
