I love the rooms. They are spacious and clean always and I always feel safe staying there by myself. The only thing I wish is that they had a couple ice machines available outside of the lobby other than that I always enjoy my stay there and am a bit sad when it's time to leave. I also like the fact that they are pet friendly and have a nice grass area for the furkids.

My boyfriend and I stayed in one of their King Casitas for two nights. We really liked how quiet it was however the room was a bit run down. The doors were tricky and when we first arrived to our room we couldn’t get in so I went back to the lobby an employee told us the trick to getting the doors open. If my boyfriend hadn’t been there I would have felt unsafe because I couldn’t open the door on my own for a whole day. Another issue with the doors was that they were worn down to the point that there were cracks in the door letting in light . Thankfully we didn’t see any bugs come through them. The bathroom was beautifully designed however the shower was not completely clean when we checked in. There were small hairs on the shower wall from the previous guest . We had a short stay so these issues were minor enough for us to look over for two nights . The staff seemed friendly and the overall location felt safe , we even walked down to the Locale restaurant one night which isn’t far from the property.

This is a beautiful property. The courtyards and walkways are lush with tropical plants and flowers. The room itself was large and very comfortable.
