We booked Tina's but got a room in Atardecer which is of the same owners. The room was only little larger than a double bed. There is enough space outside to allow you to read and have a drink so that compensated a bit for the disappointing room. The breakfast was nice and the service by Jose superb. It actually... More

Tina's Casitas is a lovely little spot off the main road. The rooms were tidy and nicely decorated. The breakfast was good. The best thing was the owner Jose (I hope I have this right). He was amazingly helpful, making phone calls for my husband and I and booking our bus to get to the other side of the country.... More

The casitas are on a hill, and directly in the line of fire if the wind is blowing. We could have used more blankets, and the pillows were like rocks. Too cold to shower in water that just didn't heat up!
