The washroom was difficult… hard to enter and exit. You had to deal with a very high step (about 1 foot). This is very much a safety concern. The front light outside was on all night the 1st night we were there. The front door did not have a blind to shield it. They turned it off for us the 2nd night. It was a very old room but the bed was quite comfortable. They only gave each of us a bottle of water the 1st day. I had to ask them to give us one the 2nd day. There was only 1 small bar of soap. The bed was not made up until 4 PM the 2nd day until I asked them about this. Also I had to ask them then to give us clean
towels. The pool area was lovely as was breakfast. Hotel has a beautiful setting with a view of Lake Chapala.

We stayed for 1 night. It is very peaceful, and the surrounding area and the views are nice. They were very friendly and helpful, allowing us to do a very late check in. The pool area is nice. The rooms are rustic and simple, but comfortable. There’s free available parking, as well as a nearby tennis court and cycling track.

Muy comodo el lugar, las intalaciones limpias y comodas. lo unico es que el desayuno lo sirven a las 10, mis hijos se levantan temprano y serviria tener mayor disponibilidad de horario para la comida.
Me gusto sus áreas verdes, el ambiente si esta hecho para descansar.
No me gusto que no tienen control en plagas, y la alberca no tiene mucho aseo

el hotel esta clasificado como de 4 estrellas, y en la realidad es como de estrellas; se ve que le untaron la mano a la Secretaria de Turismo, para que puedan cobrar como de 4 estrellas, las cabanas muy rusticas y con mobiliario corriente y gastado. lo bueno las albercas y la vista al Lago de Chapala.
