Location is the Best!

Great location! Access to everything in walking distance. Great service! Excellent personnel and staff. Clean rooms and water refill stations. Comfortable beds and lots of pillows. Kept luggage at the front and a key to the bathroom to clean up in after we had checked out.

Complimentary Yoga on the Beach

Yoga on the beach with Julia was the best part! She had music, mats, blocks, and was so motivating! I cannot wait to take a class with her again—I couldn’t believe it was complimentary! She has an amazing soul and was just what I needed to unwind... I will definitely look for this the next time that I visit.

Delicious Breakfast!

We had breakfast at Ilima Cafe twice this week even though we were not staying at the hotel. Both times the food was delicious and our server, Erna, was very kind. The restaurant is also very clean. Highly recommend this restaurant!
