The hostess (owner) was very friendly and helpful and she ordered our food which was delivered free of charge from a very good restaurant nearby. the pool and Jacuzzi area is very picturesque! Unfortunately, we didn't get the opportunity to use it since we got in pretty late. Only complaint was the mini fridge was a little smelly.

Cecilia was very accommodating and friendly. I had to leave very early the first morning before breakfast start time, so they brought me food the night before so I’d have something in my stomach before departing on my adventure. This is a small family owned hotel so there is no entertainment or lobby full-time person, but you can contact them by email or text if you need something and they will assist you. A complete and very nice breakfast is served on site but there is no kitchen so you need to go out for lunch or dinner and it is about a 10 min drive to downtown. If you have a car or pick-up shuttles to your activity, and you want a nice and quiet place to stay, away from the hectic of downtown, this is the place to stay. They have a very nice pool and jacuzzi and a great vegetation. Thank you very much Cecilia and staff!

Everything was perfect. The only thing is why I did not say excellent is because according to Expedia when I booked I was under the impression that the breakfast was included, but we were charged $8 per person per day. Not a big deal but somehow it is frustrating that the advertising is with breakfast and then you are charged. Special thanks to Cecilia for all her service and kindness.
