Very short stay. Friendly staff and all was fine with the suite- just rather noisy with dogs, roosters and highway noise. Take ear plugs and you should be ok!

Disliked: Room comfort

Dissapointment

The grounds are very clean and Meritza is friendly but the room I was in (room 9) the bed was so uncomfortable I could not even fall asleep because each movement I made was accompanied by the squeaky noise of the bed I was really not happy. The bathroom had that damp smell. To top it up for breakfast you have to travel to another place that's an inconvenience especially if you have to go to work. Overall I am dissappointed.
