Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! The open-air bar and restaurant area really enhances the atmosphere, although it can get a bit chilly at night. I enjoyed a spacious penthouse room with a stunning rooftop balcony. The staff, including Ernesto and the managers Rudy and Matt, really went above and beyond to ensure quality service, always asking for feedback to make improvements. The only downside was that sometimes the open area might feel a bit too exposed to the elements. Can't wait to visit their sister hotel, La Amistad!
