"The location was perfect, the food was great, the were free activities every day. The staff was amazing, specially people at the front desk, Joana, Antonia and Kelly. A special thank you to Joana who recommended us a bunch of places nearby and to our next location! She was lovely and it was always there to help. The only downside was that we can hear the music from the streets until late at night but good earplugs do the trick. We would definitely book this place again."

"It is a truly beautiful place, although getting there is a bit tricky, the road from Minca to Hostal Cierra Minca could use some improvements. Even so, it has a lot of charm. The only thing that really needs changing is the door lock it seems very flimsy, which can create a sense of insecurity. A sturdier lock would be better for feeling safe at night. Otherwise, everything was great."
