Absolutely beautiful view! Great personal attention given by the general manager. He really went out of his way to help us in every way.

Excellent coffee! Best of our trip. The owners speak Spanish, so they asked a friend of theirs who spoke English to come over, to enhance communication; our Spanish is limited. (At the end of our stay, they did ask for a tip for the friend, who came over in the morning also.) They arranged for pizza delivery for our dinner, and they also ordered pizza for themselves, the interpreter friend, and his girlfriend. We all sat on the patio and had dinner, wine, and conversation together - very pleasant evening. The two top bedrooms share a bathroom. We had booked one of the bedrooms, but since no one was staying in the other bedroom, they said we could also use it, so we could close off the end of the shared hallway to make a private suite that included the bathroom. This was very nice of them. We were boarding a cruise ship the next morning, and it is a 10 minute taxi ride to the port. It was a much more pleasant stay than it would have been to stay in a hotel in San Antonio. And the view of the bay was gorgeous.

The excellent hospitality of the host family

Wonderful host, who are always on secure premises - she makes meals for guests and has several snacks and drinks, as it’s unsafe to walk around and there are no eateries close by. Property had security gates, due to the neighborhood. Taxi driver reiterated the entire area near the Cruise Port is basically unsafe. Taxi fare was equivalent to US$8 and he accepted USD, need to ask upfront if USD is acceptable. (Host has a Taxi friend charging US$5) My husband and the other couple who were booked here, all walked with the Host to a market 30 min downhill downtown. No way could they have made the steep walk back, especially with heavy groceries, so they took a Taxi back. Good value when catching a cruise, as no hotels nearby. Friendly host family!
