fantastic stay, would recommend!
excellent servicebeautiful roomlive singer
the customer service was excellent, i ate dinner for two nights because it was so good! (the roast dinner was especially tasty) breakfast featured a menu to choose from, and it was cooked for me. we stayed in a beautiful room. it was large and super quiet, what a delight! a live singer performed in the courtyard, so i sat outside after my meal.
the price of beer is very expensive! i purchased two estrella shandy's, and they cost a lot for what amounts to beer with lemonade.

the food was great , but the service was a bit slow.
the room was smaller than i expected. the tv only had a few channels working, and the remote was missing a battery cover. the bathroom fan was also quite loud , and it ran all night , , made it difficult to sleep.
