Fernando is my new BFF! The House of Mosaic is a masterpiece of artistic inspiration, peacefulness, and love. Everything about the villa and Fernando were tastefully coordinated to bring out what we needed, peace and a refreshing new start. Fernando thank you for being you, and making us remember who we are. You opened your home and gave us sanctuary. Thank you my new friend. See you again very soon!

Property was great. Buffet was really impressive, lots of options and everything seemed fresh. The check-in was a bit of a wait. Our key cards kept getting deactivated even with following their rules. Pool was clean and awesome, everyone was eager to serve you and add to your great time. The entertainment at the pool was fun and unexpected.
