Amazing little hotel
We LOVED this hotel. It's beautiful, has great food, check in was easy - but the service really made our stay great. They went above and beyond to take care of us, and the manager Rebeca was responsive (all hours!) to ensure this was the case. So highly recommended!

Charming Boutique Hotel, pleasant surprise
Very Wonderful, Amazing find last minute. Especially arriving in the pouring rain at night. Francisco was super inviting and then Carlos came to us as well with much hospitality. The chef put out amazing food for dinner and then we woke up the following morning to magnificent views and wildlife while eating breakfast by the pool. The breakfast was delicious and just as impressive as the dinner! A secret hideaway, should not be missed.

The resort itself is quite beautiful. The infinity pool was gorgeous. Dining room was wonderful. The chef is outstanding. Absolutely outstanding. The room was gorgeous. We didn't rent a car however, and it was very inconvenient to get anywhere. You can't really go walking because the place itself is on a very high hill with very steep roads around it
