A wonderful hotel in a great location.
Pros:

Casa Opuntia is a great option. The rooms are clean, comfortable and peaceful, the staff are friendly and accommodating, and the location is great! You are treated to a wonderful breakfast each morning, along with complementary coffee, tea and water throughout the day.

Cons:

On our first day there, we asked someone at the front desk where we could book a 360 tour. She offered to find us a tour and said that there was only one agency that offered it, and we had to rush there to pay if we wanted the last spot. She had an "in" with the owner. She walked us there directly, and when we arrived, it didn't feel right so we walked away. After taking more time exploring and checking reviews, we discovered that this particular tour agency didn't have great reviews and that there were many more options. We booked through another tour agency and were very happy with our experience. Outside of this one experience, the hotel was great.

No sleep
Pros:

Great location. Free water and tea.

Cons:

First and foremost, it's not possible to sleep past 6 AM. The curtains are basically see through. Be prepared to wake with the sun. Walls are as thin as paper - you'll hear everything. We had a construction site next door also starting at 6 AM. The bed was very uncomfortable. The breakfast was disappointing. There's no elevator and a big staircase to reach the hotel + a big one to our room. The shower is electric and a bit clunky. No hot water on the tap.
