This hotel is almost there

This hotel really needs to start offering laundry service, heat the pools, and have a dinner and room service option for guests. That would make the experience much better. Neighborhood is loud so maybe some white noise options in the room would make the experience more pleasant as well

Si pudiéramos ponerle 6 estrellas lo haríamos. El hotel es hermoso!! Pero la atención…. La atención es verdaderamente excelente y muy cálido. Se preocuparon por nosotros desde que llegamos hasta nuestro check out. Volvería a ir muchas veces más. Gracias por sus atenciones y por la sorpresa de cumpleaños a mi marido.

Not only was the property lovely, the food was delicious and the staff were above and beyond kind and helpful. While I was there, I needed medical attention. The staff worked as translators with the hospital, set up taxi rides, and checked in on me frequently. So generous. The pool area is clean and calming. My hammock on the porch, alluring. The beds were comfortable and the showers hot. No complaints at all. Casa Hormiga is quiet and peaceful. It is only a few blocks to the lake or the plaza... very convenient. I'd stay there again any day.
