Fabulous stay
There was a plumbing issue so we were moved to another room that wasn't as nice as the one we had originally. However, we still had a fabulous stay. This is still the only hotel that we will stay at.

Beautiful grounds and loved the adobe style spacious rooms. Enjoyed the hot tub and seated deck area off our room to watch the sunset. Loved having the fireplace to take the chill off and enjoyed sitting outside at Cielos for dinner.
