The hotel has a nice, quiet atmosphere with a lovely view and was clean overall. The location in Santa Elena was great, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. However, the rooms had some issues with noise and furnishings that were a bit worn. The breakfast was decent but limited, and the hot tub was unfortunately out of service during my stay.
