I had a delightful stay at this charming hotel in The Garden of Eden casita. The rooms had a lovely Bohemian feel to them, creating a cozy atmosphere. The service was exceptional, with attentive housekeeping and even a welcome drink upon arrival. The location was ideal, providing easy access to most tourist activities in the area. However, the dining experience, while included with fresh vegetables, could use a bit more variety. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay.
