Dinah's Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful and serene landscape with lagoons, koi fish, ducks, and lush landscape. Receptionists Samantha and Karol were very friendly and helpful and so were Quique and Efrain at the restaurant. For breakfast, I had “the boss” omelette, very flavorful and filled with veggies. We also ate octopus and house specialty salads for lunch and they were delicious as well. The Lanai suite was spacious and clean and had a great view of the lagoon. It was located on the first floor with no rooms above so it was quiet at night. We will be back again next year and will book this room again! We had a wonderful experience!"
