What a sweet little place - it was pouring rain when we arrived but the staff was helpful and cheerful - grabbing our wet bags out of the car and showing us where to park in the rain. They made us feel so welcome without hovering - I can highly recommend this place.

The most beautiful boutique hotel

Absolutely lovely boutique hotel, designed and run with exquisite attention to detail. Beautiful outdoor courtyard with spa-like vibe and decor celebrating the local culture including ancient artifacts procured from the site during construction. The hotel manager and architect were present and incredibly hospitable and helpful with local suggestions during our stay. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Only complaint I can think of is the coffee was weak. An espresso machine would be a nice addition.
