Beautiful Hotel!
This is a beautiful hotel with the most beautiful courtyard and rooms. It is very well made. The only minus point is that there is no AC in the rooms. We were here one night (because of this reason) and were offered a fan which worked well for us. But having an AC would definitely have impacted our decision to stay longer. The breakfast setting is beautiful right outside the room surrounding the courtyard. It was an overall beautiful stay!

We had an amazing stay! Property is gorgeous and the staff friendly.
Wow. This hotel was excellent. Extremely quiet, quiet, and private.
We stayed for 2 days but wish we would have stayed longer.
Breakfast options were delicious. It is a small hotel but amazingly clean and comfortable, and will stay again when in Antigua

The only thing that was annoying was the group of guests that met up with their tour guide every morning and they were very loud. The tour guide was especially loud and it was disturbing to the peacefulness of the property. Other than that we had a very relaxing time
