There is a Very Relaxed Atmosphere

Negative Reviews
negative:
The Hotel Fills Up Fast
Since it only has nine rooms, the hotel fills up quickly. Several guests said that they had trouble booking at the last minute. So, you should definitely book well ahead of time, if you plan to stay there.
negative:
The Language Barrier Can be an Issue
Many of the hotel's staff members do not speak any English at all, especially the night crew. The daytime staff speaks some English, but the language barrier can still be problematic. So, you will want a phrasebook or a travel companion that speaks Spanish.
negative:
The Staff is Not Readily Available
Even though the hotel supposedly has a front desk that is manned around the clock, many guests reported having trouble finding staff members when they needed something. So, you should be prepared for the fact that any issues that may arise might not be handled in a timely manner.
