We pride ourselves on thinking of the details for you that we've not found elsewhere - even in more upscale hotels, etc. - yet at VERY REASONABLE PRICES!!!
Most Rooms/Suites have:
All "King" Beds have a MEMORY FOAM Mattress Topper making them some of the MOST COMFORTABLE BEDS most of our guests say they have EVER slept in! (like it harder? We can take it off. OR,
if one of you wants it hard & the other softer, we can put a twin foam on one side & just the regular mattress on the other! It's
whatever YOU desire!!!) (FYI - our experience [& MANY people we've met] of most beds in Latin America is that they usually are
VERY HARD!! As a Travel Agent and Travel Writer, MOST I've found and experienced were hard as a rock -
NOT what what my back likes so we've taken YOUR comfort into consideration!! This is one of the biggest raves from guests!!)
Plenty of Pillows of at least 4 different firmnesses to choose from (including Memory Foam Contour Pillows)!!!
Most rooms have 2 Twin beds that can push together to make into a King
(with a STRONG strap around it so you don't separate and the above mentioned topper)
Many have a Tranquil Fountain (if there's not one there, we'll be happy to put one in)
Sarongs

Our ideal guest believes in HONORING MOTHER EARTH and showing it in many ways including composting, recycling, not changing towels/sheets every day, doing full loads of laundry, NOT KEEPING LIGHTS on when not in a room, using natural products to clean and more (perhaps you can teach us more things along this way!!). Every day we are working more & more towards being a Sustainable Home!)
