The hotel is beautiful, very clean, and the staff are exceptionally friendly. While it’s rated as a 4-star property, travelers should note that the standards differ from what you might expect in Mexico, Canada, or the U.S.
Overall, it’s a lovely place to stay for a couple of days and offers a comfortable, welcoming experience.
