The seafood soup was delicious, and the pupusas were great, although they had an excessive amount of cheese compared to the chicaron. The hot chocolate was amazing. The breakfast was solid, and the alcoholic drinks were great, especially the pina colada. It would be nice if the property had a gym.

Impeccable, clean, comfortable, loved that there were towels for shower and seperate ones for the pool. The staff is welcoming, helpful and kind, and the food was absolutely delicious. The pool can use some TLC, but the views were simply breathtaking. If your budget allows you, do go for the lake view, it’s worth it!

The hotel is clean and decor is minimal, but comfortable.The hotel restauant is great, very good food and drinks! Staff is very friendly and accomodating. The views of the lake from our room and deck (room 2B) and dining area are fabulous! Beautiful lake!.The only down side is this hotel is very remote and the roads that lead to it are very rough - all dirt and very far from the main road. Some Ubers did not want to drive to the hotel. However, the hotel did provide transportation for a fee.

The view here is phenomenal. The hotel offers so much peace and easy access to the lake with unlimited kayaking included in your recreation. The staff were great. I have much more positive things to say about my stay than negative…. The only thing is that I found the pool water to have an opaque color and didn’t seem as clean in comparison to crystal clear pools I’ve been too. Though regardless of that factor I would 100% come back and recommend.

Lake view is very good. Staff at the bar was nice and friendly except that during breakfast we were surprised to get charged for American Coffee instead of getting free refills. We paid for the Coffee but mere fact of the waiter didn’t tell us upfront. Everything else was good and we liked the experience there. Thank you.
