Hidden Gem!
GREAT STAY! Was an amazing time with memories to last a lifetime. Toni, the owner of the property, works very hard to ensure your stay is lacking. She and her crew are highly accommodating and can help with anything if you just ask. Her staff were so polite and professional that they even helped connect us with local tours, guides and excursions and consolidated them on to a printed itinerary! Would stay again 100%

Worst hotel stay ever by far. Shower did not drain. Toilet leaked urine water from base of toilet. The noise level was like that of a night club with people partying and loud banging music until very late
