This is a wonderful property. The staff was friendly. It one wants to be near the action, then this isn't the place. This place is for a wonderful chill vacation. However, there are BOLT rides that can cheaply take one to the hot spots.

Amazing place,very nice staff with ordinary buffet
The staff were so friendly, even they mentioned they are new there. They provide us very good information and also do something very special. As we had to go to the airport and could not be there for the last breakfast, they provided us a breakfast bag including a home made sandwich😍 The location is great and just 5 minutes walking to st Rafael beach, but a little bit difficult to reach if you have no car The hotel is too small and some equipment were a little bit old, but in overall the hotel can satisfy you The brekfast buffet had no hot meal, maybe because of the season Safety is also good. The staff leave the hotel at 6 p.m. but there is a guard who is availbale during the night In overall, we really enjoyed and highly recommend the hotel

The area was lovely and it was close to a nice beach. The villa was spacious. The private pool was a bonus but we had to let management/maintenance know that the pool ladder was broken upon our arrival, so hopefully they will address that before the next visitors stay in the unit.

This property is located in a very convenient area. You can walk to a few 5 star rated restaurants and even a local beach. No more than 10 min walk to any location. It feels very safe to walk at night, we really enjoyed that. Prepare to hear a lot of instructions with a map when you arrive to get to your hotel room and they don't assist with luggage. Although the hotel is located on a very beautiful and large piece of property the rooms are not up to date. The wifi is very spotty. We had a leak in the bathroom that left a big puddle on the floor our whole stay because nobody came to fix it even though they told us someone would come. This was very upsetting because nobody came to clean the room either so we were left with limited towels which we used for the puddle. These are things you do not want to deal with after a whole day of traveling. I really wanted to love this place but they have a lot of fixing to do. Staff was friendly.

Clean but not well maintained. Walls and woodwork scuffed, sliding doors damaged, cable inoperable, poor lighting in kitchen. Expedia advertised as no children however screaming child next door was allowed. Rating of 5 star totally is way off the mark. For the price look elsewhere.
