Pros (+) We liked that it is surrounded by foliage and each hacienda is adorable and you are in walking distance from the waterfall. The breakfast is excellent they do accommodate every room with an umbrella.
Cons (-) It is a boutique hotel so Daniel is do it all accept cook. The kitchen is only open for breakfast. the property next door is is a dog rescue so you will hear dogs barking in the evening.
