8.8/10 Excellent! (246 reviews)

The room I stayed at with my family was very large and clean. The hotel is family/kid friendly and safe. My children enjoyed the pool and the complementary breakfast, which included traditional Mexican bread and cuisine. The staff, particularly Jorge and Mary, made us feel right at home. The property is at walking distance from the market, restaurants, and the center square.

Was a great hotel. Centrally located and close to things to do. Couldn’t access the pool but wasn’t sure how to get to the pool.
