Los Tambos - Boutique

10/10 Excellent
"Me gustó mucho mi experiencia en este hotel, especialmente por el trato de los recepcionistas. Todo el personal en general fueron muy amables y atentos. El hotel es lindo, limpio y cómodo. Adicional, cuenta con un observatorio con una vista espectacular. También, el desayuno es muy bueno. De hecho, un día durante la estadía me enfermé y fueron muy amables y me llevaron la comida del desayuno a la cama. Realmente fue una experiencia muy buena."
