Thank you to Fiorella for all her assistance, great service 😊 Would recommend phone service in the villa’s a gym and more food service options.
Leonel, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful little hotel upon a mountain side. Staff was excellent and the grounds were very pretty. Only downside was it took 10 to 20 minutes to get down to the main highway and tour companies would not pick you up from there. You have to hire their shuttle to take you or an Uber is much cheaper.
Larry, 2-night trip

The manager was going to upgrade us to another room, but it was too far for me to walk with my sciatica. The hotel property was beautiful with a lovely view overlooking San Jose. Nice pool and landscaping! Delicious food for dinner and breakfast and reasonably priced.
