Beautiful property, clean and comfortable rooms and such an accommodating staff. The views of the city from the villas are stunning and while a touch further out than a traditional airport hotel, this one has so much character, it’s so worth it. Highly recommend!

It was a good place up 4,000 ft above sea level. Felt cool in the May morning (upper 60’s). The hotel had a coffee walking trail in property. We had a great balcony view of the city. Staff was always very helpful. Good was decent. Prices were in US dollars. There’s no AC in the rooms but it was ok with the ceiling fan at night. Getting to the hotel from downtown can take 45-60 minutes just because of the heavy traffic all over town. Overall good experience.
