The property itself and staff are amazing. The rooms were extremely spacious and comfortable. The pool was great and the breakfast was also very nice to have. While it’s a bit away from the main strip the staff always got us cabs quickly and they cost $1.50 each way. The surrounding area has some construction but that was during the day when we were typically gone. Every time we arrive md or departed the staff at the hotel were there to meet us and check in. We stayed with another family (5 kids in total) and this hotel met all our needs to ensure we were taken care. We would absolutely stay again!

El Descanso del Guía was a refreshing experience. While the location is not ideal, it compensates by how quiet, clean and friendly the place is. The staff is very helpful and nice. Our stay was excellent and would definitely stay there again.

Great staff, superb breakfast. Easy 15 minute stroll into the center of town or a couple dollar taxi ride. Small convenience store next door. Comfortable rooms, great place to relax in the pool!
