Excellent hotel! The staff could not be any friendlier and the hotel is beautiful and sparkling clean. Large rooms, great air conditioning and nice hot showers. The only complaint…the hotel does not respond to messages sent through ******* and they also never answer the phone. I was not able to schedule my free transportation from the airport because I couldn’t ever get a hold of anyone. The hotel clearly needs to update their contact information.

Party started, very loud, and didn’t end until 730 am. Not much sleep. The room is very nice. Bedding and bed very nice. The room we booked was being serviced so they gave us a different room which was fine.

The description of this hotel is totally inaccurate. There is no restaurant of deli on site. Also, when we booked it stated they provided airport transportation. We requested it multiple times and got the run around. Also, it is on a busy road with trucks and motorcycles going by all night.

Staff is super friendly and attentive, rooms are nice with air conditioning, and yhe provided breakfast each day was nice. Even yhough its a but up grom the main tourist center its very essy to get there either a 15 minute walk or a 5 min taxi ride. The tacod have a set price so you dont have to worry about negotiating or being ripped off.

Just awesome! Stayed for six nights, can’t think of one really negative thing to say about this place or the great people that work there! It is a little ways out of town, but you never have to wait more than a couple minutes for a taxi ($2) either to or from the hotel.

Staff were very helpful and always available. Pool was great and we enjoyed the hot tub many evenings. Hotel isn't downtown, but we had no trouble having taxis called for us everyday and they were quick and inexpensive, $1.50-$2 USD. We actually enjoyed being a few minutes away from the downtown area as it we got to enjoy festivities by day, then enjoy the quiet at night.

"My family and I stayed at El Descanso del Guía this past January, and we had an incredible time. We were traveling with my husband, mother-in-law, and our children, who are 5 and 4 years old. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The bedrooms were cozy and nicely furnished, and we were pleased to find that there were no insects inside them. The highlight for us was definitely the swimming pool and the jacuzzi, which were both very clean and enjoyable. Our kids loved spending time in these amenities so much that they didn't even want to go on any tours - they still ask us when we can go back! One of the best parts of our stay was the breakfast. It was cooked in front of us by the pool and was absolutely delicious. It was a great way to start our day and made us feel even more relaxed and at home. The only less positive aspect is that, as the hotel clearly states when you book, it is a bit farther away from town center. However, it's still only a short taxi ride away - less than 5 minutes, in fact. Overall, we had a fantastic experience at El Descanso del Guía and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay in the area."
