Shelley, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staying at this hotel felt like being transported to a serene Spanish villa. It had that perfect balance of elegance and warmth that made it feel less like a hotel and more like a home away from home. The staff was also genuinely friendly and welcoming.
Emanuel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel has a lot of character and charm being an older building, and the room had everything I needed and was perfect for a solo traveler. The staff there and in the neighboring restaurants and businesses were wonderful, and the location was perfect for me- walkable to the beach and the other attractions. I enjoyed my stay!

6/10 Good

We stayed in the Casa Grande Suite for one night. The staff was friendly and the restaurant in the hotel was amazing! Unfortunately the shower in the room did not work at all (thankfully there was a separate claw foot tub, so we made due) and the air conditioning for the side of the suite that had the rooms did not work either.
Kendra, 1-night trip
