Our opinion
The Hotel is located 15 minutes away from the airport. This is a small place and is lovely and quiet.
Here you will find a full staff at your service and the pool area and hot tub is a great place to relax..
Rooms are beautiful, with the feel of a big house but very well separated from the other rooms. The bathrooms are nice and spacious. They’ve got also villas. The restaurant is nice, and te food is great.
The coffee tour is well worth the money; a tour around the plantation with a tour guide who is extremely knowledgeable and interesting.
There is a coffee tasting session at the end of the tour.
