I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this hotel! The staff, especially Diamanto and her daughter Sofia, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Everything was so accessible and accommodating, which made our stay incredibly enjoyable. The only downside was the remote location with limited dining options outside the hotel, but honestly, the food at the hotel was delicious enough that it wasn't a major issue for us. I can't wait to return!
