We stayed in the Hacienda Suite, AMAZING. The private patio and ocean views were just what we hoped for. One staff member went above and beyond and was just incredible, Aldo helped make our trip the best it could possibly be. The few hiccups we encountered he attended to quickly and with care. Also, Amazing Bathroom, and great furnishing/decorating to make it a unique spot to stay.

Booked for a bday getaway for myself and my husband. We had a great time, love the location, enjoyed the pastries, tea & cofee. The room was clean, the staff was nice. The private area in front of our room was great. Downside: A couple things that were unpleasant was the bare walls where it looks like there should be paintings only bare hooks hanging, no robes or slippers & the Tv was broken, had lines shown on the main screen.

Location and property itself was well maintained and offered nice touches such as a chiminea with comfortable furniture outside and music and well appointed dishes and in room coffee etc. The only disappointment was the “continental breakfast” which was coffee and a muffin. Luckily, the host that checked us in hinted as much and we picked up some fruit and yogurt from the grocery store to round out the morning meal.
