This is a nice quaint old hotel. I love the layout where the courtyard in the middle has big trees, grassy mounds, and tables outside your back door of your room. Another bonus was having a delicious restaurant on site.

Room could use some TLC. Toilet was loose from the wall. Bed was too soft. Property was pretty. Restaurant on site was very good. Good food and good service. Disappointed Tiki bar on site wasn’t open.

Pretty grounds, actually has lemon trees. Love that we had a balcony and could open the doors at night and have a nice SB breeze. However there was a very bright misdirected light shining into our room. I asked to have it corrected in the morning but it was not addressed. The location is not great, near east Roque- nothing up there, so have to drive for everything. Nice stay, but mostly because of location, likely wouldn’t stay again. I would try the orange tree sister location.
