Beautiful decor

We had a very enjoyable stay here. The inside is decorated beautifully. Humberto was our on call contact if we had any questions and he was always very responsive to any questions or requests. Even after our stay, I contacted him about something we had left behind and he replied and was very gracious about finding the item. Would recommend.
