    The driveway to the establishment is a little precarious and you have to be very careful when you are backing up.

    I like the small pool. The staff is excellent and accommodating to your needs. Very friendly and very helpful. Have a coffee maker in my room which is almost a necessity for me.

    This time I didn't encounter the motorcycle races that I had before and the dogs are barking at night it was quiet and I slept well.

    I really enjoyed the pool even though it's small but I was by myself so there wasn't a whole lot of activity there. I had a room with a small refrigerator and coffee maker and being the coffee enthusiast that I am I was grateful for that. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

    Unfortunately I stayed on a Friday night and there were many motorcyclists around and barking dogs.

    I like the fact that it had a pool and I utilized that. Very nice surroundings and accommodating.

    My only complaint is that the bathroom light was very dim making the bathroom too dark for doing make-up or hair. My other comment is a warning, the gate is a bit narrow so if you bring a car driver confidence is halpful, however the staff is so helpful the will certainly spot for you, if needed.

    Staff was very helpful and kind. Room was typical for the area and price range. Very clean, had everything you need.

    Well, I got into a dispute with a taxi driver on the day of my departure, which was unfortunate. This was partially due to a misunderstanding between Mauricio and myself. The taxi driver and I did have a little trouble finding the place, but I think that was our fault as there were two signs at the entrance.

    First, the premises are very attractive, located on the top of a bluff next to the road. My room was very nice, very expansive with pretty much a full kitchen, a double bed, a couch which I guess converts to a bed, and a private bathroom. My bedroom looked out onto the pool. The room was very clean. What was also nice is that there was a pulperia, a small little market just a few blocks away. Mauricio was always very helpful. whenever I needed any help, he got right to it.

    Lovely quiet area. Great friendly staff. Beautiful view of countryside off balcony. So relaxing. Nice pool. Too bad weather was cool so water cold. Had tea kettle,coffee maker, fridge. Cafe down the road was great. Taxi stand very close.

    Pleasant and peaceful stay in a spacious deluxe room with excellent amenities & accommodating staff

    Some light switches were unintuitive, which could be improved with clearer labeling or instructions. The shower heater lacked a visible ground wire, which may raise safety concerns.

    The deluxe room was spacious and well-equipped, featuring a kitchenette with ample cookware, utensils, and complimentary coffee. The bathroom window's screen allowed for ventilation while keeping insects out, enhancing comfort. The staff's understanding and accommodation of my need to cancel one room due to a health emergency, providing a full refund, demonstrated excellent customer service. The presence of friendly resident pets added to the pleasant and peaceful atmosphere. I felt very safe and secure on the property and the surrounding neighborhood.

    Charming garden retreat with great amenities; minor maintenance issues but a pleasant stay overall.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Economy Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Some aspects of the facilities were concerning, such as the missing shower heater's grounding wire and low-positioned showerhead and mirrors, which were uncomfortable for taller guests. The cracked window glass and missing pane of the jalousie window allowed cold air to enter, posing an issue on rare cold days. Vacuuming and detailed cleaning of chipped paint and debris around the floor edge enhance the overall appearance.

    The check-in experience was warm and friendly and there was good communication via WhatApp prior to checkin. The location is close to the airport and you can even take a bus to the airport with only a 100m walk to the bus stop. The room had useful amenities, including a refrigerator, rice cooker, toaster, and coffee maker, making it practical for longer stays. The garden view was a highlight, with beautiful details to explore, and the staff kindly offered extra blankets, which was appreciated given the occasional chilly nights. I appreciated the screens on the windows to keep out mosquitoes. The pool with a fountain was beautiful and had comfortable lounge chairs although the water was too cold to fully be able to enjoy it except on the warmest of days.

    First impression was not very good. You can smell dogs, hairs on the carpet outside, area is not so nice, pool very very small. But then you give it a chance.

    Before living I like to stay in tropical forest, they have a nice garden. Privat room has a small balcony and some fridge, water heater... Room was clean. They have 5 friendly dogs. Nice common space with tables. Bakery and small store close by. Close to the airport, I was staying the night before living for an early flight.Use uber 10$, taxi is 2x that price. 20$

    Just a few minor things like the slight inclination of the floor. I was still able to sleep well. I just recommend providing a slightly thicker blanket for cold nights.

    Great value and location! I was kinda suspicious of this place at first because of the previous reviews but me and my friend actually enjoyed it. The staff were really nice and were really responsive on WhatsApp. We arrived kinda late at night and the gate was closed but was opened as soon as I messaged them. The pool was also nice and the greenery around was just very relaxing.

    This hotel was very close to the airport, which was exactly what we wanted. The host was incredibly kind and the room was great for the price we paid. My husband's flight was delayed, so he arrived at the hotel in the middle of the night, but the host was kind enough to stay awake so that he could open the front gate as soon as he arrived. We were very happy with our stay!

    Breakfast could have been a little more robust as there's not a lot of places within walking distance to get a full meal.

    Staff was so sweet and I loved the dogs. The room was relatively comfortable. Breakfast was small but sufficient.
