I've done quite a bit of travelling over the years and this was by far the best customer service I've ever experienced. Agustin and Juan both went so far above and beyond to make this an amazing experience.

Restaurant was amazing, monkeys over the roof in the trees, fun music at night. Only complaint is the loud music from all the surrounding venues.

We spent two nights here and had an outstanding experience. Big thanks to Augustin and his amazing staff. Communication was excellent and we had no issues during our stay. Easy walk to the beach. Breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend the omelette and avocado toast! Really enjoyed the live music as well. Thank you for memorable stay.

Probably the best complimentary/included breakfast that I’ve had at a hotel. Great location close to to everything. Little oasis in the middle of the town.
