I liked it. A solid 4

Viaje a Buddha en un excelente lugar
Pros:

El lugar es amplio y moderno. Está bien ubicado para ir caminando a los lugares recomendados para visitar. El personal es muy atento, especialmente los de restaurante. Cuando llegue me dieron una mejor habitación y me permitieron quedarme un poco más el día del check out. Muy recomendable.

Cons:

Lo único para mencionar es el agua caliente, me gusta bañarme con agua bien caliente pero salía más bien templada.

Great facilities, friendly desk staff. Recommend getting spa services elsewhere.
Pros:

Room was very nice, bed comfortable, shower with hot water. Grounds were relaxing, with a nicked little lawn area by restaurant. Staff was accommodating for an early check in.

Cons:

I got a deep tissue massage at their spa, Sowa. Staff did not moderate pressure despite repeated requests to have a lighter touch. It was as though they had only one setting and could not adjust to what client wanted. Spa staff needs better training. I chose to go to another spa nearby the next day and I had a better experience.
