Our stay at the resort was quite enjoyable with the stunning vineyard views from our private patio and the spacious, well-equipped room, which made for a comfortable retreat. The staff members were exceptionally helpful, and the breakfast delivery was a nice touch, even if the food could be a bit more impressive. However, the room's condition and some amenities like the fridge left something to be desired, which made us feel like there's room for improvement at this price point.

Our family had a wonderful time at the hotel during a wedding weekend. The rooms were not only reasonable in price compared to Ponce but also felt nicer. However, we did miss having a restaurant on-site for evening dining, as everything was across the street, and it would have been more convenient. Overall, we had a lovely stay.
