El Paso Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This place was a little off the beaten path, but we were pleasantly surprised! Not only was everyone willing to help, but the place is beautiful! On-site, nobody spoke English, but were all super patient with us and we used Google translate and when we needed additional communication, the staff called someone with excellent English! We arrived later in the evening and were helped with our luggage and enjoyed a delicious dinner! Would love to come for a visit again!"

Beautiful villa with private pool and nice mountains view
