My stay at El Cactus was delightful. The rooms are gorgeous with a kitchen, good shower, and air conditioning, very big, clean, and even had an enormous private courtyard. The service was exceptional; every person working there is so friendly and helpful. The location is great, just a short walk to the main square and surrounded by stunning mountain views. The dining experience was tasty and beautifully presented, especially at the rooftop terrace. Overall, a fantastic value for money with a few minor drawbacks in the surroundings.

The hotel room was huge and equipped with a small stove and fridge, making it immaculate and a dream to hang out in. The staff was kind and attentive; above all, the team through Booking was quite gracious and helpful with booking taxis and making our stay comfortable. The hotel is located in a beautiful area with stunning mountain views, though the view around the hotel might not appeal to everyone. The location, two blocks away from the main action, is perfect for a quiet stay. The dining experience was lovely, with a great selection of fruits and juices. The facilities provided were fantastic, offering a fantastic escape from the hot city afternoons.
