A bit overpriced but loved the facility! Beautiful!
Our stay was very fun. The shower was a bit hard to get hot water but we managed. Kitchen was well stocked but not much room for food. Furniture was uncomfortable for us seniors but a very safe and friendly environment. We would definitely stay in the ocotillo again but get one away from the street and main level. All in all we loved the pool and hot tub. We felt it was overpriced for our unit’s location in the building.

A high quality stay for the price
Seamless check-in and responsive property service. The kitchen is very well stocked with items for preparing and storing food. The grounds and pool area are quiet, well-kept, spacious, and a great place to unwind. My only bit of caution for light sleepers is that the unit is located on a busy street.
