6/10 Okay

The property is beautiful, it is located in an amazing area. Very relaxing atmosphere. The only downside was the staff; unfriendly, and lacking customer service skills
Ivonne, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. The room is very old, you still use an actual key to open the door. The inside of the room has the chain on it so you can lock it. Needs some work to bring it back to life.
Leticia, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Adequate accommodation

Stayed for 2 nights as part of a longer vacation in Mexico. The resort is nice but could use a refresh - it’s a bit dated. It is in a beautiful area and has a great view of Lake Chapala.
