Very nice place by the lake. On site restaurant is good and convenient but you really should go out and explore. There are couple billiards tables by the lobby and there are some pickleball courts on the property as well. Staff was very friendly especially the manager in the Sunday buffet.

This was a very nice hotel room. It has a nice restaurant and a bar. Although it would have been very nice if we would had a coffee maker a refrigerator and maybe an ice machine available. The staff was very pleasant and helpful.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

I liked this hotel. The scenery of the lake and swimming pools/outdoor areas are spectacular and the meals are first class. Very much an upscale setting and worthy of a corporate event. The staff was very friendly and super accommodating for a couple of changes I needed. The hotel is very well kept for an older-style hotel. Only one complaint: I like a hard mattress, but my bed felt like a rock. I mean, the absolute hardest mattress I have ever slept on.

Adequate accommodation

Stayed for 2 nights as part of a longer vacation in Mexico. The resort is nice but could use a refresh - it’s a bit dated. It is in a beautiful area and has a great view of Lake Chapala.

Very comfortable and clean. The quietest hotel we have ever stayed at. Service at the bar is slow, when you can find it.

The property is beautiful, it is located in an amazing area. Very relaxing atmosphere. The only downside was the staff; unfriendly, and lacking customer service skills

Staff was amazing! View was great and location is safe. The grounds were pretty. Pool was semi warm for December. Restaurant was overpriced. Room was spacious but sadly ours had a bad nail polish stain that looked like blood. We only stayed one night.
