We loved the landscaping and the very clean pool. Our room was made up each time we asked; very nice. We wish there were hammocks, pepper at breakfast, a bar. The cats are special

Staff and service were excellent with everything. Very clean and well maintained. Quiet. Nice typical breakfast, if not much variety. Dining area has a nice new bar but it was never open. Would have been nice to have a place to sit and have a drink. Car is needed. Las Brisas was only walkable dining option, great local place. Good thing we liked it.

Beautiful property, great location for a chill vacation. Easy walk to sodas, beach, a small super. Room was in great shape, service was friendly. We wanted a relaxed vacation and it was perfect for that. There are a few things that were odd, all very minor but would be easy improvements 1. They had us wear wristbands the whole visit. This was odd - it wasnt a HS spring break trip. I don't like having to wear something making me obviously a tourist for security. We didnt see any other hotels doing this 2 - There were any washcloths. We bought one, but it was odd since towels were provided 3 - Our unit had a small kitchen (well appointed) but it would be nice if they provided some basics - salt, pepper, maybe sugar for coffee. The local supers don't sell super small quantities for travelers.
