I enjoyed my stay so much! I’ll be back!
Pros:

Rooms are nice size, well appointed, well thought out. Love the private patios. The lounges around the pool are very comfortable, plenty of places to relax. The hot tub was excellent! I booked especially for that because I have arthritic knees. It was really very nice.I booked especially for that because I have arthritic knees. It was really very nice.

Quiet, relaxing modernist little hotel with pool.
Pros:

It was clean, quiet, just a few minutes from the town center by car. The bed was very comfortable. Nice little private patio. The staff, especially the caretaker, were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

It was kind of expensive. We did not like the concrete floor. The kitchen was not well equipped for cooking. It did have a microwave and a coffee maker.

Great stay at the Cactai
Pros:

Wonderful stay at the Cactai! Beautiful property and comfortable and well designed rooms. Nice common area and pool, the property is not big, but the room are well insulated, and have tinted windows for privacy. We also appreciated the dog friendly environment. We actually ended up extending our stay because we didn't want to leave! Highly recommended.

Pros:

The bidet is a GREAT touch and the bathrooms are really well appointed.

Cons:

I would add a large area rug under the couch and coffee tablet to break up the tile floor and add texture and warmth to the room. It will significantly increase the comfort and decrease the industrial feel of the building materials.

Charming property but inadequate service from staff.
Pros:

The pool and hottub were enjoyable.

Cons:

There was no housekeeping or fresh towel service throughout my five dsy stay..The property staff was slow to respond to requests. Lastly, I was inaccurately charged for minibar items.

Not our cup of tea but I am sure some will like this place.
Pros:

Location was great, close enough to everything yet a little out of the way.

Cons:

Bed was very uncomfortable, didn't realize that this site was handled remotely with no facility staff other than housekeeping so everything is done through texting -I prefer speaking to someone face to face, Not a lot of instruction upfront but we figured it out, walls very thin - you can hear everything happening next door or outside, and finally though the room was larger than most, lacked a lot of charm or warmth-felt more like staying in someone's garage then a motel. To each his own

Great Retro Stay
Pros:

We enjoyed our room and lounging poolside.

Cons:

There was a lot of noise from the room above us. I don’t know if there is poor insulation between the floors or if our neighbors were especially loud but there was a lot of noise every night.
