Really good!

I really enjoyed my time here. It is a small, and quiet resort. It is old l, however well taken care of. My only complaint would be the shower in my room wasn’t very good, hard to get hot water and there was too much pressure. The food is amazing and the staff are wonderful. The Italian restaurant was very good. Ricardo, Daniel was great.

It's a small hotel but definitely worth it. This is my third time visiting, and very happy with our stay. All food was delicious. We had a dinner reservation at the Venetian ( Italian restaurant) and food was amazing. Our waiters Daniel, Ricardo and Javier were amazing and made the evening much more pleasant. I would highly recommend this place.
