This hotel is located uphill approximately a half mile from the main street. They do have a shuttle service on call for 2000 pesos each way if you wish during specific evening hours. But there are also an abundance of taxis available in the area. My room was quite dated however the bed was comfortable, and all the linens were bright white clean as well as the rest of the room. If you want the best views, then book the superior room in the main building. Carla, Gabriella and Dario were excellent hosts and very helpful. Dario helped me select and book two excursions which I had difficulty trying to do online. they will even sell you pesos for dollars at a fair exchange rate. Their Wi-Fi service is strong. What I will remember most besides the helpful staff is the delicious breakfast. It includes cook-to-order eggs and the service is fast and friendly and well prepared. Everything else is self service buffet. The coffee is nice and strong and flavorful. I will be back next year for sure. I highly recommend.
The hotel is decent, with acceptable service. We stayed in January 2025, booking for 200,000 pesos per night. However, there are areas for improvement: 1. No ventilation in rooms or bathrooms, leading to poor air quality and mosquito issues due to unscreened windows. 2. Thin walls make conversations and snoring from neighboring rooms clearly audible. 3. Cleanliness needs attention—stray hairs were found in the bathroom and bed. 4. Located 10–15 minutes from the city center, but a car service is available in the evening for 2,000 pesos per trip. Overall, the stay was okay, with simple décor but lacking detail. Improvements would enhance the experience.
Do not stay here. Many issues that they failed to resolve over a three night stay. 1) no hot water 2) taxi service left us stranded in town and the hotel did not reply to messages. It’s a 20 minute walk, and not the end of the world, but frustrating while carrying lots of groceries 3) lots of noise from other guests 4) several bugs 5) room not cleaned well between guests Most importantly: very poor WiFi
