Pros:

Lugar cómodo, acogedor y tranquilo, con jardines hermosos y una ubicación conveniente. El personal fue muy amable y servicial, la habitación estuvo siempre limpia y el housekeeping fue impecable. El desayuno incluido es bastante bueno y, aunque el restaurante es algo caro y las porciones pequeñas, la comida es deliciosa. El wifi funciona bien y, en general, ofrece una buena relación calidad-precio.

Cons:

Falta atención al detalle y mantenimiento, especialmente en las habitaciones y baños, que lucen algo antiguos. La habitación no tenía A/C, ventilador de techo, mosquitero ni blackout, pequeños detalles que mejorarían mucho la comodidad. La piscina principal es bastante fría y la piscina termal tenía algunos elementos que no funcionaban. El servicio del restaurante es excesivamente lento: llegamos a esperar casi 40 minutos por una hamburguesa y un sándwich.

En dessous de mes espérances
Pros:

C’est joli, bien situé avec la magnifique vue sur le lac. Literie et chambre confortable de manière générale

Cons:

Trop cher pour la prestation offerte, nourriture pas incroyable, contraintes en tout genre pour emmener son verre au bord de la piscine ou encore sur le petit déjeuner qui n’est pas à la hauteur de l’établissement non plus

Lindo lugar
Pros:

El lugar me encantó. Se siente acogedor. Las camas muy cómodas, habitaciones espaciosa. La vista es hermosa y las luces de noche son un plus!!! Personal amable y atento. El jardín era muy lindo, todo me pareció 10/10! Está a 8 minutos aproximadamente del centro de panajachel en camión o tuctuc. Fue un lugar realmente relajante. Desayuno bastante completo!

Cons:

Podría dar otra opción de desayuno incluido.
