Staff was amazing! View was great and location is safe. The grounds were pretty. Pool was semi warm for December. Restaurant was overpriced. Room was spacious but sadly ours had a bad nail polish stain that looked like blood. We only stayed one night.

We really liked the look of the house. Very Mexican and walkable to lots of shopping and restaurants. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was great to have. The upstairs rooftop was a great place to sit and enjoy the scenery. Beds were comfortable as well. Well furnished kitchen.
