"This was our first time to this area of Nuevo Nayarit and I picked this hotel for our first 2 nights before we went elsewhere. It ended up being so amazing we went back for the last 3 nights of our trip. The staff are really friendly, it's relaxing and the pools are amazing. Great restaurant as well, we had several meals there and enjoyed them so much. Special shout out to Angel for being extra awesome and making us feel welcome."
