My daughter and I stayed 4 nights in Room 4. We loved everything about our stay here! The property is gorgeous, the rooms are comfortable and beautiful, the breakfast is amazing, and everyone was so nice, welcoming and helpful! We would surely stay here again. My only recommendation would be to either have a coffee pot in the rooms or have coffee available throughout the day.

Exquisite Property!! San Rafael is so peaceful and tranquil, yet in the center of all the action! Steps from the Arch and many many dining options! You cannot beat this location! We were coming from the Lake and in order to avoid roadblocks we ended up leaving at 3am and arriving at San Rafael just before 6am. The staff were so helpful in storing our luggage while we explored Antigua! The staff here is wonderful and really make you feel like family! Rooms are beautiful and very clean! The entire property is truly gorgeous! We communicated via What’s App- very easy and responsive. They have filtered water in the kitchen and we refilled our bottles several times a day, plus they include a few bottles of water as well. We will 100% come back next time we are in Antigua!

Fantastic place is every way. Well managed. Beautifully decorated. Great attention to detail. I enjoyed the morning included breakfast, the candles in the public areas in the evening and the real fireplace with wood in the room, lit by the staff in the evening. Amazing all around.

Beautiful Hotel!

This is a beautiful hotel with the most beautiful courtyard and rooms. It is very well made. The only minus point is that there is no AC in the rooms. We were here one night (because of this reason) and were offered a fan which worked well for us. But having an AC would definitely have impacted our decision to stay longer. The breakfast setting is beautiful right outside the room surrounding the courtyard. It was an overall beautiful stay!

The only thing that was annoying was the group of guests that met up with their tour guide every morning and they were very loud. The tour guide was especially loud and it was disturbing to the peacefulness of the property. Other than that we had a very relaxing time
