Hotel doesn’t take cash or have a restaurant/bar Kind of a mixed bag with some pros but really big cons. Pros: the room was nice, the grounds are gorgeous and the staff is very pleasant. Cons: 1. It does not have a restaurant or bar. It has a refrigerator with water and some beers which you can’t purchase after 7 p.m. Their sister property—El Mirador—has the restaurant and a full bar. 2. The hotel doesn’t take cash. Which was really annoying and also led to a lot of foreign transaction fees on our credit card. We had a lot of pesos/cash on hand as we were traveling on the El Chepe, which doesn’t take cards. We were able to setup a tab so we could charge to the room, but we had to request it—it wasn’t automatic like it is at many hotels. And unfortunately this hotel and the one with the restaurant don’t communicate with each other. So we’d end up with a $50 peso charge for a cup of Jamaica even though the meal was included, which we needed to pay with a credit card. Again, lots of annoying micro-transactions and bank charges. 3. Our booking included meals but the strict schedule didn’t work for us. 4. The look of the room was nice. It had been remodeled, but there were issues. The front door would only open halfway and a poor tile job basically flooded the bathroom every time we showered. 5. The bedding consisted of a top sheet. That’s it. We found some blankets in the closet but they weren’t really enough. It was very, very cold at night. It’s unfortunate because the property itself and the staff are lovely.
