Guest Reviews

Samantha (10/5): Lovely place - This is a very comfortable place to stay on the East Cape. Restaurant is good and staff is very friendly.
Alexander (8/5): - Loved the sound of the surf and ocean views for the open air dining area. Be prpared for very bad roads in the overall area of the hotel.
Lori (10/5): - Comfortable room. Restaurant very good.
Nicole (10/5): Absolutely love this beachfront getaway!! - Such a beautiful place to stay on the white sand beach with the pool!! Comfortable beds and big room overlooking the ocean is stellar! Restaurant onsite makes this a perfect romantic getaway while on business!
Margot (10/5): - If you're looking for an extremely remote and peaceful getaway this is the hotel for you! Vidasoul is a beautifully constructed gem directly out on the oceanfront where you'll have miles and miles of uninterrupted beaches for you to explore. You can also sit back and watch the migrating whales while enjoying a glass of wine or a beautiful meal prepared by the lovely staff. The rooms are modern and elegant with all the basic amenities that you'll need. The whole hotel is run off-grid! Please keep this in mind if you plan on staying here. Every resource is precious and not to be wasted. If you're lucky you'll have a chance to chat with the owner, Joan, when you're down enjoying the restaurant. Because this is a remote location please keep in mind that it's a rough dirt road to get here along the coast so it's absolutely encouraged to get here during the day because navigating that road at night would be super scary. If you plan on snorkeling/diving Cabo Pulmo Marine Reserve is about a 45 minutes drive north and a straight shot to get there, can't miss it. I highly recommend staying here if you're up for exploring and looking for an elegant and quiet getaway!
Monica (10/5): - This place is a hidden jewel! We had the most amazing time in Vidasoul. The place is just magnificent and the staff is the best, they take so much pride at what they do and they offer the best drinks and food in the area.
Ana (10/5): - Hermoso lugar con vista espectacular y sin ruido. Muy privado
Dorothy (10/5): - We really enjoyed our time at Vidasoul. We wanted to check out the East Cape, look at the ocean, and just relax and we were able to do all that there. Loved chatting with Joan and learned tons from her. The dogs were welcome and didn't need to be on leash. Everyone there was mellow. It is mainly a spot for surfers and divers, but we enjoyed watching them and meeting them. The beach was deserted and we had a great walk with the dogs. The food was good too: fresh and filling. We shared the chicken picata for dinner and had an omlette and huevos rancheros for breakfast. . Joan reminded us of how much work it is to maintain a place on the beach. The salt air is murder on metal, and the dampness lingers. I think they wash the windows every day. Some people (including Joan) don't like all those windows, but we loved them. They bring the ocean almost into the room. We were lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves. It was just what we wanted. This spot is not for everyone. It is spacious and clean, and the beds are comfortable, but it is not luxurious. If you are looking to be pampered, this is not for you. We loved it.
Andrea (10/5): - Great service, Juan was wonderful.
Marie (8/5): - Amazing views of the ocean as the property is right on the beach. Great food and drinks at the onsite restaurant.
deborah (2/5): dissapointment - I didnt make it to the Hotel. The road was not paved and we got stock in the middle of the road. My whole family ! in the sand. It was a very difficult road, with no other cars , just solo. We had to drag the car out of the sand and definitely go back to san Jose del Cabo. The Travel insurance I paid for any incidents necer worked. I called the hotel that same day but no answer. The office closes at 4pm!. It was getting dark .... next morning I called and they returned the second night. I have been tryint to send a report to the Travel insurance I paid for and it just doesnt work. Never pay for that insurance. It is a robbery!!!
Susan (6/5): - Check in was okay; the person didn't welcome us, processed our card and handed the key. We asked where the room was. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It has a concrete interior with unattractive art. The water was hard to regulate for a shower; when we added cold water to the hot water, the hot water would turn off. The premises are aging and needs a facelift. The pool area is unattractive with synthetic turf. We had fish tacos for dinner and oatmeal for breakfast; it was good. Service could be improved; waiter was late starting at breakfast We had to ask for napkins and utensils after food arrived. There weren't many guests; perhaps they were bored. It was about a 40 minute drive to Cabo Pulmo main entrance.
Susel (8/5): - We had a peacefully fun visit. Staff is super friendly and Juan was very attentive. Room is spacious and beds are comfy. The food was outstanding, excellent enchiladas verdes, huevos rancheros and the ceviche is one of the best ever!! Sunsets and wave sounds were AMAZING. Great place to get away from traffic and crowds!
Talia (10/5): - This place is beautiful! Staff is so top tier! Their restaurant has a variety of options and literally everything I had was good. Shrimp tacos were my fav. If you are looking to be were the crowd is at then you will be paying some money for transportation lol. This hotel was a ways out like 1.5 hours and very secluded from tourist like activities. I didn’t do my research so I was disappointed in that. But the owner made sure to accommodate me appropriately and offered/did take me in town to do my excursions! She was super nice and chill. They are about to undergo some renovations so I know that when I go back it’ll be even better. The beautiful views, the suite, the food, the A staff made up for the lack of excitement lol. I really enjoyed my stay because I got to relax, meditate and just enjoy the scenery.
Kathleen (10/5): - Just WOW! The staff is amazing. The location is amazing. A short drive to multiple surf spots along the East Cape…our new spot when we visit Baja. Thank you everyone! We can not wait to come back! Love, Kate and George
Alfred (10/5): - Drive was crazy getting there but awesome after arrival
Fronica (10/5): - This is a modern and unique experience with a clean feel and friendly staff in a secluded section of Baja.
Joanne (10/5): Stunning location - Relaxed & friendly. Stunning location. Food is fresh and lovely
Mark (10/5): - Cool little hotel right on the beach. Easy access, attentive service, food in restaurant was great. Will visit again!
Kimberly (6/5): - The hotel overbooked. Its in the middle of nothing. The only option they offered was employee housing.
Natasha (6/5): - The rooms were really nice and the beds were super comfortable. It was really nice being on the beach and there was a surf break just in front The exterior was not that nice. Now enough plant, half the plants there were were dead. The exterior a little shabby. The overuse of uplighting was blinding and was freaking out the birds ( light pollution). Most of the staff was either unfriendly of did not understand anything about the hotel. The restaurant was way over priced and they seemed annoyed when I would ask to fill my water bottle with there filters water or get Coffe refills. Friday night there was a live band that was loud until 10:30-11 and after a long day in the ocean and sun it was a little annoying
Gary (10/5): - Everyone Couldn't be nicer. From Joan the owner, to the entire staff. Food and service was excellent! A great place to relax and enjoy the East Cape of Baja. Gary
jason (8/5): - I love this place I’ve stayed here three times now prices for accommodations are reasonable rooms are wonderful if you like modernist architecture food is good and staff generally pleasant and accommodating However the food & drink prices are a little out of whack Given this is not Cabo San Lucas… Was charged 300 pesos times two for a couple of shots of Mezcal which in Mexico is a bit of a stretch. When I spoke to the restaurant manager about it he brusquely waved me off in a way that left me wondering whether I would return to this lovely oasis in the desert. Yes it’s been a couple of hard years for businesses and I understand their need to cover expenses but it’s a fine line between making your guests feel welcomed and appreciated and turning a profit. I wish Joan the best but hope they’ll revisit some of the prices for their guests.
Phillis (8/5): - Staff was friendly and accommodating. Food was excellent! Very remote area, if you are looking for solitude and peace, this is your place. Room 200 is worth the extra $$.
Karine (10/5): Paradise on the Ocean. - It’s an oasis of modern, comfort with a staff and management who deliver from the soul. The food was excellent. And a big Thank you to Alberto for his wonderful care.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful small remote hotel where the staff knows you and helps with anything. They saved our vacation after being stranded from a bad rental situation with Sixt rental cars (never again). The restaurant was lovely, welcoming. No shoes required and you can hear/see the waves as you dine. The view from each room is unbelievable.
Verified traveler (10/5): - What a lovely place. So glad I stayed, and can't wait to return.
Verified traveler (8/5): - This is a unique property. The location right in the beach is very special.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely hotel off the beaten path, but worth the drive. The staff is amazing, food is great- just so relaxing and what we needed after traveling around the area. We’ll be back.
noah c. (10/5): Great Place, great location - Vidasoul is a perfect retreat and located in a great place. If you're looking to get away from the tourist traps of Cabo, this is the place. The food is great, the service is great, they are friendly and welcoming, like family.
Christopher (10/5): - Great stay.
Bryan (10/5): - Nice getaway, but the best was the Service and the Food, OMG this food was to die for. Of course because it is in the middle of nowhere, the nightsky is amazing.
Riccardo (10/5): - What an amazing and unique place. Great place to relax, regenerate and enjoy quality time in the nature. Extremely pleased with everything.
Taylor (8/5): Hidden Gem - Despite the power going out, it was an awesome place. Good food, live music, beautiful sunsets and crabs on the beach! Overhead showers with views of the beach. No gas stations nearby so plan accordingly
Michael (10/5): - Beautiful location! Wow
Julie (10/5): - We loved the remoteness of this place! You could see whales non stop all week. We didn’t get the chef’s names, but the food was AWESOME! And Diego and Hector were INCREIBLE! 😊
Suzanne (10/5): Tranquility AND base for diving/surfing/snorkel - VIDASOUL was exactly what & where we wanted. We (teen + mom) stayed 9 nights. Some days we stayed put, strolling the private beach to swim, gather shells, enjoy sunrise, eat AMAZING fresh meals (head chef Diego is an artist: ceviche, fish/chicken, salads, pastas, vegan options, all-day full-service with bar, prices reasonable). Kayaks & surfboards available on-site. (Waves generally swimmable/mild during North American winter & terrific for surfing in summer.) Some days we drove 22 km north to protected marine park of Cabo Pulmo with beautiful beach, snorkeling, hike at Los Aboritas; or 4 km farther to village for more hiking and dive shops. Hotel location is perfect for enjoying rustic, uncrowded part of Baja Sur PLUS having airport & bigger city of San Jose del Cabo about 40 minutes’ drive south for nightlife. VIDASOUL also has live, free music on Saturday nights - many locals come for dinner then. I loved how owner Joan & guests would talk together at meals on the open dining patio, watching whales & sunsets. There is wi-fI and A/C. Pet-friendly. Not all rooms have ocean views - the suites do (big glass walls, with shades to lower) so go for those if possible. Room above the restaurant (208?) can be noisy. Cons: pool not heated & 75-degree sea can feel cool in winter, consider rashguard or light wetsuit. ABSOLUTELY EMAIL OWNER FOR DRIVING DIRECTIONS! End of road is rutted dirt, if that’s scary, can Uber or getting shuttle from hotel ($80 per party). SUV not required.
Verified traveler (8/5): - We had a great time. Close to Cabo pulmo and surf breaks
MT (8/5): - Likes: location – beachside, isolated/non commercial, quiet; dining, Dislikes: unreliable internet access; bicycles available but require minor repairs and major tune up.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Modern, quiet, beautiful! We booked for a few nights as a relaxing way to end an adventurous honeymoon (not too far from outdoor excursions in Cabo Pulmo) and the staff were very friendly. The food was more expensive than on the rest of the trip.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Off grid so generators and solar panels apply the power. Ocean breezes keep the rooms cool during the day they run the generator at night to cool the rooms with AC . The kitchen uses local fresh catch of the day for their seafood dinners. An amazing staff friendly and concerned about your comfort
Jenn (10/5): Fabulous! - It's quite the drive to get to but well worth it. Beautiful & the staff was great as was the food. I had unit 200 which was amazing & so comfortable. The views from bed & throughout the suite was the best ever to end & start my day with...my dog loved it as well.
Guy (4/5): Not bad....BUT!!!!!! - Hotel was nice in a beautiful location. Problem is getting to the Hotel and once there, we found the restaurant expensive for what it is. We knew the Hotel is out of the way and on a dirt road. What we didn't expect was the condition of the road. I would recommend renting a pick up truck to make it on these roads. Once there is a beautiful beach and the rooms are very nice. However, internet was not working and a big diesel generator was running day and night which took away from the ambience of our stay.
Gummy (8/5): Clean and great service on the beach good food - Reserved a double queen room and found it to be well laid out and impeccably clean. Beds were really comfortable with soft cotton sheets and a duvet covered comforter. Nice. Ac was fantastic. Had kayaks surf boards and paddle boards. Showing some disrepair. But I highly recommend it. A gem on Cortez and close to Cabo pulmo and arbolitos marine park. Great coral reef there.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing place!
Rai (6/5): Modern hotel far away from anything - The hotel itself is very modern, nice, calm - far away from anything. For me personally it was too modern with a skull in the room and modern pictures with skulls, but this is subjective. It is far away from anything, so if you want to be away and just relax this is fine. We went there as we just wanted to enjoy the tranquility. Though I would not recommend to go with children.
Freddie (10/5): Loved the Vida Soul - Great little hotel away from the rush of life. Cool rooms, good food, attentive staff, great location.
Verified traveler (4/5): Okay in a pinch - The hotel wouldn't be my first choice in this area. Villa del Faro was much more comfortable. While the staff were sincere in their efforts to be helpful, the infrastructure was working against them. The room we had, directly above the restaurant, was too loud to be enjoyable. We could hear all conversations in the restaurant below.
Kelly (10/5): Shangri la in Cabo - Like Shangri La, VIDASOUL is a hidden paradise. And like Shangri La, the journey there can be long and arduous but the rewards... well, you may never want to return to the real world again. VIDASOUL is everything you would imagine an escape should be. Go! Located steps away from a completely isolated beach, yet only a short distance from Cabo Pulmo snorkeling, scuba and fishing. San Jose Viejo and San Jose de Cabo are short drives and always fun. VIDASOUL is an eco-friendly hotel using solar energy and bio friendly waste technology. And that is something I greatly appreciate. The spectacular, clean beach at VIDASOUL extends for kilometers in either direction and can take days to explore. There are small boats, paddle boards and surf boards available for guest use. Also, bikes are available to explore the back country leading to the hotel. The Crossroads Restaurant at VIDASOUL is fantastic! Authentic Mexican cooking and just delicious; every bite. I was visiting VIDASOUL during the Christmas holiday and the holiday inspired cuisine at The Crossroads was just outstanding - delicious grilled lamb chops, prime rib, fresh catch of the day, everything amazing! VIDASOUL does take some effort to get to, but it is so worth the trip. I flew into La Paz, rented a car and made the three and half hour drive. Although it was a beautiful easy drive, I would recommend flying into San Jose Viejo. And be prepared - the last 25+ kilometers to the hotel are rough dirt road. Enjoy!
Frankie (8/5): Retreat in Baja - It's modern comfort and good food in Baja primitive enviroment
Verified traveler (6/5): - This would be a great place for a romantic weekend , very quiet and relaxing. Snorkeling 30 min away at Los Arbolitos beach. Nowhere else to eat nearby so with meals and taxes plan for over $250 per day for 2 people.
Brenda (2/5): Scam - This hotel is not in the area where noted on hotels.com. The hotel is so far away from the downtown marina area that we were not even able to go. The cab would of been over $700 US dollars return. We didn't even go and are still waiting to hear from you people about a refund. It is located down a very poor condition road where you can't drive more than 15 miles per hour. Very disappointed with this.
Michele (6/5): Quiet and comfy - Positives; Had the place to ourselves mid January. Hotel was clean, beds were comfy, rooms and hotel were quiet, beach was close-50 steps away close. Location VERY remote but COMPLETELY accessible sssshhhhhh DON'T TELL anybody hehehehe. Negatives: Hard to use the pool with the sulfur smell and to be perfectly honest, water was probably too cold (Ocean was warmer) Would be really nice to have comfy seating in rooms and spread over the hotel. The modern seating is suitable but I was looking for a place to lounge with some more comfort. Food was tasty but became repetitive
Michael (8/5): - This hotel has great potential, only because it's not finished. Very comfortable beds, excellent views but just ok customer service.
Felipe (8/5): Ok - Comfortable room, good food, safe, nice staff and a trully yours beach (pray for good sunny days). however it takes long to get there, far (very far) from all towns (unless you trully does not want to leave the hotel and want to stay in the beach only)... From san jose it takes about 40-1 hour by car in a so so sand road (do not take the beach road although the scenario is nice... Take the inbound road it is faster but tricky - beware)... All in all a good hotel except the distance... Oh yes, the internet is not good for streaming videos so keep it in mind to rely only on provided cable tv (also good)... And no there is no mobile signal
Steve (10/5): Love this place - Very nice secluded get away. Modern, clean, prime Beach front hotel away from it all. Chef was great, service was great! Kids fished , snorkeled, and relaxed. Wished we could have spent more than 3 days here. Get the suite, well worth it!
Verified traveler (2/5): Middle of nowhere bug hotel - Was receiving texts from front desk/owner/hotel manager/maid/cook the lady that owns this hotel/home is running everything on her own an is not doing a good job at it. The hotel is 40 miles down a very unsafe all DIRT road when I got to the hotel my key was already in the door an I had no service on my phone at all So if your staying here don't plan to use your phone or wifi it's down that mean to communication with the outside world when I got in my room their was cockroaches on the bed an flying around the room I cleaned the room an told her long story short I stayed their for 5 hours slept an then checked out I booked this hotel for 3 days an basically threw my money away horrible vacation
Verified traveler (6/5): Just Ok. - Had to change rooms each 3 nights due to problems. 45 minutes by dirt road.no phone service. Remote beach was cool. But more of 3 star hotel.
OsideClyde (8/5): Lots of Potential - I have traveled to the East Cape in the past. It's a isolated, rugged and beautiful place. To have a boutique hotel as a refuge in the area is awesome. Vidasoul almost has it right. The architecture is amazing. The concrete work is stunning. The king bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The new pool is mostly complete and is small but pleasant. The fish dinners are great! Very good and tasty. When you are there, you should keep in mind how remote the location is and what a feat it was to get to the point where they are now. Not and easy or inexpensive task. I say that they almost have it right because it has an unfinished feel to it. Definitely could use some more landscaping and they haven't quite perfected their solar system. We were informed that all the fountains were off due to solar power issues, no big, but they would have been nice. The service overall ok, but I expected more from such a small place. The main person who helped us with various things hit or miss. Sometimes it felt like we were a bother to him, other time he was not engaging, but pleasant enough. He did not give off a very welcoming vibe. Maybe she was having a bad few days, but the boss lady (owner?) was not at all friendly. Gave me the feeling like I was invading her space. It was more pleasant when she was not around. It was very hot out. She looked tired and maybe over the whole thing. Lolli was awesome Made us feel like we were old friends.
Verified traveler (6/5): Nice hotel but not finished yet ! - Nice hotel in a secluded location on the beach... Not easy to get there.. Nice rooms but pool and the rest of the property is not finished yet... It could be great when finished...
Zoe (8/5): Talk about a getaway... - VidaSOUL is perfectly situated in the middle of nowhere. Getting there was a little tricky, but it was a perfect one-night stay for the start of our vacation up the East Cape. Staff was helpful, accommodating, and friendly. Our room was fantastic - we woke up to the sun rising over the ocean. The food at Crossroads was fresh and delicious! We'd recommend it and would love to return!
Monica (10/5): If I was smart, I would keep this hotel a secret! - Five days were not nearly enough at this amazing, hidden hotel. The food was delicious, the staff unbelievably kind, the beach nearly deserted and the sunrises spectacular. I will never again be happy with a corporate resort on a crowded beach. Thank you Alfonso, Garu and the rest of the Vida Soul team for a truly memorable vacation!
Baja Beach Bums (10/5): Away from it all....but not too far. - We love staying at VidaSoul (been twice). Each time is a lovely experience and the staff is more than accommodating. East Cape lifestyle is different than that of Cabo San Lucas, which for many can be a welcomed change of pace. The travel to the Hotel is different, but not difficult. Well worth any "bumps in the road" Highly recommended to get away from it all :)
Laura (2/5): Hotel under construction - The pool is under construction so the beach is a mess. Only 4 rooms have ocean views but lack complete privacy from the rest of the hotel, unless you shut the blackout windows. The rest of the rooms dont have views. The shower is next to the bed and has a plastic curtain that you might as well not use because your room will be damp after a shower. They wouldnt give us a receipt when we payed. We had booked 3 nights and left after the 1st night. This hotel is a scam.
Verified traveler (8/5): quiet and secluded - The website for Vidasoul states that it is a "resort." That term is used loosely, as it's really just a hotel with a good restaurant. No other amenities to really speak of. It's location is very remote, and days would be dull if you don't have a car to explore. The beach was great; private and we practically had it to ourselves.
good (8/5): Nice hotel - Hotel and staff is very nice location rooms are nice updated and clean it is very secluded road to get there is unpaved with no signs to get to hotel closest store is 1 hr away must come prepared and need a 4 wheel drive suv for the road no activities offered by hotel
GM (8/5): one with the ocean - Rooms 100 & 200 are awesome! Open the sliding glass panels and your room is the beach. A gorgeous un-trafficked one at that. You can watch the whales from the chaise in the room. Hopefully planned additions won't spoil the view. Remote location offers privacy. Chef and food are first rate. Would be nice if coffee was out earlier in the morning. Rent a four wheel drive to get there and enjoy exploring the beauty of the national park. Not all wait staff are friendly
Madpinto (10/5): Great, quiet hotel - This hotel is definitely off the beaten path, perhaps literally. We enjoyed our very modern room and loved being right on the beach. The attentive staff treated us warmly. Fortunately we enjoyed our meals because there wasn't another restaurant for miles.
Mina (10/5): Magical - VidaSOUL is exactly that: A special place for your soul. I can't speak highly enough about my experience there. Not only is the place beautiful, the staff are just as beautiful. Never once did I feel like I was in a hotel. The entire hotel only has 16 rooms. It felt like staying at a relatives house who just happens to have a personal chef and kitchen staff lol... Sara is my new best friend (in my head lol)... She was so accommodating and friendly. The rooms are beautiful and very clean. Everything is exactly how the pictures are on the website. It literally sits RIGHT on the beach. The only thing separating you from the ocean are the concrete steps that lead down to it. The roads leading to the hotel are a right of passage. You have to go through it to be able to appreciate what you're gonna get in the end. And that's all I'm gonna say about that lol... Oh, and if you can, rent a jeep or something make for off-reading. Thank me later lol
BC (10/5): Remote, idyllic and totally relaxing - Vidasoul is situated in an area of remote beauty. This is a place for those who want to completely unwind and relax. There are no local tourist traps, the only 'activities' are beach, sun, snorkeling and diving. Great staff who became like family, particularly for the couple of nights when we were the only guests. Even if it was full it would still feel intimate and personal. Fell in love with Garu, the hotel dog. Definately going back and will certainly recommend to friends.
Verified traveler (6/5): Isolated on the beach with great snorkeling - Very low water flow from all faucets and showers. No hot pot or coffee maker. One over priced restaurant. No refridgerator. In the plus side it's quiet and far from the crowds
Cheryl (10/5): Clean, modern designed hotel. - This hotel is for the vacationer who likes to get away from the hustle & bustle of life. It is a good place to stay if you are interested in exploring the East Cape. The food was good and the staff was great!
B (10/5): Extraordinary resort perfect for escaping it all! - My 3 night stay at VidaSoul was absolutely exceptional and exceeded all of my expectations. This uber modern, boutique resort is tucked away from the claustrophobia inducing, overpopulated tourist traps that commonly plague Mexico. Due to the property being located directly on the beach, it's near impossible to not witness breathtaking views of the Sea of Cortez. The location also allows for you to drift into a peaceful slumber while listening to the incredibly soothing sounds of the waves meeting the soft, sandy beach. The staff are all very polite and approachable and do their best to attend to your every whim. I looked forward to every meal at their beachfront restaurant called Crossroads where the waiters, when asked, offered food and drink recommendations that never disappointed. I will undoubtedly be back again soon and highly recommend you experience VidaSoul for yourself!
Manuel Mendiola (8/5): - U need a nice pool..
James (10/5): - It was so good! A great place to be out of the touristy hustle and directly on a beautiful beach. Nice restaurant located in the hotel and service was very good.
Ker (10/5): Perfect Retreat - My experience at Vida Soul was one of the best I've had overall. Everything was excellent and I would definitely return there in the future. If you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere, apart from all the typical resort/tourist scene this is absolutely somewhere you need to consider. In addition, the food was phenomenal and they brought in a great band that played a few acoustic sets of a variety of music.
Verified traveler (8/5): Unique hotel experience - This hotel is off the beaten path and for those who are adventurous you can take the East Coast road to the hotel, but please note it's best to have an SUV and be prepared for a slow, long ride. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the unique route and interesting homes that popped up along the way. I would recommend only staying a night or two if you get bored easily. There is nothing around, not even a pool at the hotel. Otherwise, it is very relaxing and there is live music on Saturday nights. The owner wasn't too friendly or welcoming, but the manager was sociable and very accommodating.
