"We were very much impressed by this apartment. To be honest, we were expecting some catch after we booked because it was a very competitive rate, but no reviews available …. It then turned out that there was no catch: a very spacious apartment with a great view, well equipped and all brand new - this was the reason for no reviews! The team at the reception gave us a friendly welcome and helped us to decide what hikes to do. There is parking outside the building. We will consider coming back when...
"Alejandra’s place is amazing. She makes a wonderful breakfast and is attentive to any question or need you have. The rooms are simple, but safe, clean and comfortable. The place is not quite on the main strip, but about a 10 minute walk from the bus station and the main shops and restaurants/bars. She’s a lively woman that will do anything for you. Highly recommended. Laundry service also offered. 5 min walk to Laguna Torres trailhead."

Fine dining restaurant in the hotel for evening meal options. insider tip get the trout (trucha). This place is so far above the star ratings. Just book it."
