Six days in paradise. One of those places you want to return to before you've even left. Actually, you really don't want to leave at all. The place is beautiful, the setting is incredible, the people make you feel at home, and the whole experience was just flipping great. Las Tanusas is not just a place to stay. It's a place you miss the moment you depart.

Un hotel ideal para alejarse de todo y relajarse.

Hotel localizado en area muy aislada, con poca actividad nocturna interna y en los alrededores. Difícil de localizar si se va en automóvil pues no tiene señalización. Excelente atención por parte del personal, comida deliciosamente preparada. Habitaciones limpias y confortables.
