Primera Hacienda Hotel Boutique

Primera Hacienda Hotel Boutique

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely place. Maria is very welcoming and helpful. The garden goes a long way back through a nice patio area all the way down past the pool to the breakfast room. All very stylish as are the rooms. We were going to have the Junior suite (twin) but were offered a double at the front of the house and took that (although I wouldn’t recommend for light sleepers as there is road noise and people going in and out of the front door). Very good breakfast. FYI There is a house dog; a small thing that wanders around. Nothing too problematical (unless you have an alert/phobia) but it did bark quite often and there was dog mess by the pool a few times which wasn’t pleasant."
