Leo welcomed us so warmly. I felt instantly at home. our room was very nice and neat, and the staff always had smiles for us. juan carlos served us daily, even from morning until evening, and his kindness touched my heart..
the food at night wasn't quite what i hoped. i ordered a burrito, but it lacked tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and other things. breakfast also felt a little meager, with just a few options and needing to pay extra for more. it was a little disappointing
