What can I say, this lodge is fantastic. Quiet and beautiful rooms with everything you need to stay cozy and warm. Even had the pick of rooms. A close by mart for some basics, with a short walk to food and shopping places. Can't recommend it enough!

This motel was fantastic. The bed was soft, the room was quiet (even though there was a gathering outside), it had a little kitchen, and it was clean. Conveniences like digital channels and a coffee machine meant that it made the stay just that much more comfortable. Super convenient to central Palmy as well with just a short drive to the Plaza.
Definitely recommend.

Lady at reception very friendly, even offering a water for our travels if needed when leaving. Large comfortable and clean motel room with quality eco-friendly supplies (handwash etc).
Bed and bedding comfortable.
Make sure you shut your bathroom door if it faces the sun as it was very bright early in the morning!

The couple running the Hacienda were very helpful and could not do enough for us. It was obvious they took great pride in the place, keeping the outside space and bushes immaculate. The room had everything we needed a d everything worked.

Very clean & modern inside. Advance warning of the scaffolding around it would have been good as woken very early by scaffolders moving pipes. A reduced rate while work is in progress would have been fair.
