This hotel offers a serene escape from the bustling city life, with a beautiful setting and exceptional service that truly enhances the experience. The amenities are impressive, including a great spa and a lovely breakfast. However, the long check-in wait and limited dining options at dinner were a bit of a letdown.

I had a lovely stay at this beautiful hotel, tucked away in a quiet and rural area. The two-bedroom apartment was spacious and airy, making it a great spot for a getaway. The staff were friendly and willing to help, though I faced some occasional challenges reaching them by phone. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for a short retreat, but the Wi-Fi connection could use some improvement.

This property is a beautiful escape into nature, offering a range of activities to enjoy. The breakfast was outstanding, with a variety of fresh options that kicked off our days on a positive note. Unfortunately, our experience was marred by a long check-in process and unexpected charges upon checkout, which left a sour taste.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. While the wedding event we attended was beautifully organized and the location was relaxing, the service could be frustrating at times. The food was decent, but I expected more from a spa hotel. The long wait at check-in was inconvenient, and a few facilities, like the spa, were not as impressive as advertised.

I had a lovely stay at this Quinta, which really offers a peaceful retreat from busy city life. The facilities were impressive with plenty of outdoor activities, and the breakfast was delicious with a wide array of fresh options. However, the check-in process was a bit lengthy, and the Wi-Fi connection wasn't great at times. Overall, it was a nice experience, especially if you can stay for a longer period to really take advantage of everything it has to offer.
