The hotel was nice, very boutique and comfortable. We liked hanging out by the pool, loved the food but especially the quesadillas at the hotel bar/restaurant and the Cabo coffee they serve is delicious!! The kitchen staff were super friendly, the rest of the staff can benefit from the same smile and friendly attitude.
