Muy buen lugar para empezar la muchacha no despacho rapido nos llevo hasta nuestra habitación que esta muy bonita con tu botana y un baño muy acogedor la verdad que te la pasas muuy tranquilo. No hubo MOLESTIAS,INTERRUPCIONES o QUEJAS que la verdad se agradece porque no puedo decir lo mismo de otros lugares con dueños quejumbrosos y eso que nosotros pusimos música, pedimos comida y no tuvimos ningún problema. Otro dato importante fue que habia agua caliente no muchos lugares tienen agua caliente Para resumir un excelente lugar para relajarse

We were a last minute booking and speak very poor Spanish. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. They even created some secure parking for our motorbikes. Would definitely recommend.
