Propietario Violento y Agresivo con sus Huéspedes.
Pros:

Queríamos pasar unos días de paz y nos topamos con un loco, agresivo y malcreado amenazando que nos fuéramos de su propiedad, llegó a la piscina y nos apagó las luces, quedando en completa oscuridad sin pensar que teníamos dos niños pequeños y mi papá un adulto mayor con movilidad limitada. No cometimos alteración en el sitio ni generamos resistencia para irnos de la piscina- aclaro que estábamos dentro del horario y justo ya saliendo cuando este agresor llegó. Su esposa se presentó diciendo que fueron las barreras del idioma pero nosotras entendemos el inglés perfectamente y eso no tiene nada que ver con respeto.

Cons:

Lugar inseguro. Persona posiblemente con trastornos mentales y rasgos violentos para actuar así, sin motivos algunos. Desconocemos si el tipo estaba armado. Su esposa poco conciliadora, le exigimos regresarnos el dinero del depósito y nos fuimos porque era más el miedo de los niños llorando y mi mamá en cuadro nervioso. Hombre peligroso que reacciona sin motivo alguno contra sus propios huéspedes y empieza a hecharlos de su propiedad. Llamamos al 911 y ya está en marcha la denuncia administrativa.

Excellent value for money
Pros:

The location was beautiful! Next to the river, surrounded by trees, peaceful and quiet.

The room was very comfortable overall (spacious, clean, practical furniture and amenities) but the beds and pillows were particularly great!

We enjoyed the pool area a lot, very relaxing.
