We lived there with my husband for two weeks, and it was nice. At weekends there were huge parties, so it is not that silent place to be. Anyhow, I would go back.

This hostel claims to be a luxurious accommodation. This is far from the truth. It is also overpriced taking in consideration its location, the fact it does not provide any breakfast and quality of the accommodation. The hostel offers a pick up service from the airport for $35 which is overpriced too. Owner parties almost every night and advice provided... More

Let me start out by saying that this hostel was very nice and clean, and the staff very helpful. The room we were in was very spacious and charming; the grounds well taken care of; and the pool was nice and well maintained. There was also a nice covered outdoor sitting area centered around the pool. The kitchen was nice... More

Ivonne is a warm and wonderful person who helped me out on a wide range of things and even arranged to have someone come over and repair my computer. I love hanging out at the Rancho, a very pleasant place. The place is immaculate, Rollando is always on a tear, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. My room, the former library is a... More

We stayed here for 2 months. The rate was very fair for long term rental. We chose this place because of the number of amenities available: 2 fully equipped kitchens, two TV areas, small pool, plenty of rooms, and lots of people to hang out with. The house was cleaned every day, except Sunday). The location is farther than most... More

Stayed in Villa Michelle april 2010 (beginning & end of my trip) and May 2011. It's not a B&B, it's not a hostel, it really is a home in a resedential area. I really like that when travelling and a nice change from the typical backpacker hostels or impersonal hotel. Big living room, 2 kitchens (the one inside has everything... More

There is a pool and two well equiped kitchens. Unfortunately the owner does not have a sign at all (not even a little sign "Michelle" or something like that on the door bell) nor a house number - so we just randomly rang the door bell to ask after checking google maps... (the map provided does not help). The pickup... More

There was no breakfast so I'm not sure why its classified as a B&B. Its just an OK hostel that charges too much for what it is. The manager pushed a million tours on us that always had to do with a cousin of hers, and we were overwhelmed. We stayed only one night and switched hotels as soon as... More
