Las habitaciones son rústicas y bastante grandes, puedes rentar 2 habitaciones conectadas por una puerta, si vienes en un grupo grande. Lo mejor de todo es la atención que te dan.

Lugar apacible y buen precio, pero cada vez más descuidado. Hubo fugas de agua en WC, cortinas en mal estado, controles remoto sin pilas, requiere más supervisión.
