My experience at the hotel turned out to be quite disappointing overall. While the location by Lake Chapala is beautiful, and the rooms have potential, the service was nowhere near what I expected for the price. The communication regarding reservations was frustrating, and the staff seemed indifferent to guest needs. I can't recommend this hotel based on my experience, especially considering the high costs involved.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The location by Lake Chapala is stunning, and the spa experience is second to none. However, the service left much to be desired, which really affected my overall enjoyment. While the rooms are comfortable and beautifully decorated, the pricing seems unjustified for what is offered. If you're looking for a great spa retreat, this place could be perfect, but be prepared for service issues.
