Refugio del Angel

The owners are lovely, the place is beautiful, and the pool is great. Just be aware there aren’t conduct rules, so if someone plays cumbia by the pool at two in the afternoon, a nap nearby is pretty much out of the question, haha. Breakfast is mostly flour based, around 90%, so bring your own if you’re on a low-calorie diet or have high cholesterol 😅. Apart from that, everything was great.

The place is beautiful, and we were nearly the only guests, with just two or three cabins occupied. We could do what we wanted around the complex and felt almost at home. It’s in a wooded area near attractions, though far from the center, and you’ll need a car since there are no shops nearby. The roads are a bit tricky, but nothing out of the ordinary. Our room was quite nice, with an electric stovetop and a small under-counter fridge. The owners were very friendly, though they didn’t come by often. There were lots of dogs wandering around; they were well behaved and respectful, but not everyone likes animals. The place met what had been agreed, and the value for money was excellent. The pool needs some attention, and the property could use a little care overall. They could have told us where to shop, too. We accidentally switched off the fridge with a light switch and went a day without realizing it. Maybe fewer people come this time of year, which could explain some of that. We’ll be back!

The location is easy to get to, about 10-15 minutes from the city center. We had one hot day and one cold one, and both the air conditioning and heating worked perfectly. The cabins had everything we needed, and the owners were incredibly friendly and happy to answer questions. Breakfast was delicious, generous, and complete. They also let us bring our pets at no extra charge. It was an excellent experience.

A lovely place for relaxing and spending a few days. The people there are so attentive!
