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.

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.

8/10 Very good

room and amenities were very nice. The only complaint is the bar/restaurant. AND its obvious it is a problem as I spoke with others staying there. The food is inconsistant, the bar is pricey. I was there for 10 days, even valentines day the place is empty. Its either not managed properly, there was plenty of staff OR maybe you could offer guests "something" It would of been fun to hang at the bar with other but no one went to the bar.

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.

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
