"Shout out to Rodrigo( server in the bar, lobby, and buffet area) who went out of his way to always smile, be helpful, and ensure our family felt welcomed at all times while visiting this beautiful hotel! It's employees like Rodrigo that really stand out and make a difference while the boss is not looking. Hopefully Rodrigo is acknowledged for a job well done because he really cares that guests receive topo notch service. The hotel is clean and very convenient. In addition, the beds are super comfortable and the A/C will make you never want the leave the room! Good job! Would recommend : )"

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condominium is beautiful! Inside the living space is very setup well! The two bedrooms with king beds are so spacious and comfortable! Our morning coffee on the deck with the view of the mountains is spectacular and out of the sun too enjoy!The upstairs is another gorgeous place for lounging or jumping in the plunge pool to cool off!It’s just a great space. The main pool at the complex is also so nice and big with another pool soon finished. Never played pickle ball but the court was also very nice. This place is very beautiful and quiet and close to the beach and restaurants."
