Guest review
The staff at the hotel were amazing. David and Maria looked after us very well. The hotel is in the best location on Taboga island, it was extremely clean and our room was very comfortable with a beautiful view. The infinity pool was a great spot to sip margaritas and watch the boats and people go by.
David also made the best cocktails on the island!
