Majestic, charming boutique hotel that is in a great location in Getsemani. The people are very friendly and it has a pool looking over San Felipe and the marina. My room needs some repairs - e.g the shower but overall I really like this place

The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the unobstructed view from the rooftop was fantastic. We really appreciated the option to take a to-go box from the breakfast buffet for our early airport departure—such a thoughtful touch. Overall, it was an excellent stay! Our only complaint was that the burger we had for lunch was just average. We'd definitely stay here again but would likely choose a different place to eat.
