10/10 Excellent
"El hotel es precioso, todo su entorno te da mucha paz y tranquilidad ya que está rodeado de la naturaleza en una hacienda y llega la brisa del mar. El personal muy muy atento solo que nos hubiera gustado que nos guíen más para aprovechar el lugar y hacer actividades adicionales porque había para ir a caballo, volar en helicóptero, caminar por las instalaciones y ver a los animales, servicio de spa y gym. El desayuno muy variado y rico, quedamos llenitos. Y el cuarto demasiado bonito también, tal vez un incluir un espacio para la ropa como clóset estaría bien."
