My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms, while on the old side, were spacious with unique features like a private courtyard. However, they could use some updating, especially the bathroom taps. The service was top-notch with charming and kind staff. The location was convenient, within walking distance to the main area of town. The dining experience was delightful, offering tasty options for both breakfast and dinner. The facilities were adequate, but some renovations could elevate the experience.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, with its own private courtyard and pool-facing entrance, was spacious but showed signs of aging in the bathroom fixtures. It was generally comfortable, although pesky mosquitos paid us frequent visits. The service, particularly during the festive dinner, was slow, but the staff were delightful and made an effort to be kind. The location, with its serene setting and easy access to town and other attractions, was enticing, especially after a day of exploring the nearby volcano. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially the almond milk, and the homemade pizza was a highlight. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel offered a decent value for the money.
