It's a nice boutique resort. The room is spacious and clean and you can access the swimming pool right from your patio. What's more, every staff is super nice. They speak good English and will always try their best to help you. They make you feel welcomed and always carry a bright smile. Be sure not to miss the wine tasting everyday at 6:30pm. The restaurant is a must try. The Empanada is the bes...
