The staff at this hotel made our stay absolutely incredible! Not only were they helpful in providing restaurant recommendations, but they also helped coordinate a tour around the islands (ask for Pedro), taxis to and from different destinations since we didn't rent a car, and just overall were so friendly that it made our stay extra special.
