I liked this hotel. The scenery of the lake and swimming pools/outdoor areas are spectacular and the meals are first class. Very much an upscale setting and worthy of a corporate event. The staff was very friendly and super accommodating for a couple of changes I needed. The hotel is very well kept for an older-style hotel. Only one complaint: I like a hard mattress, but my bed felt like a rock. I mean, the absolute hardest mattress I have ever slept on.

We stopped in Ajijic by fluke! I saw the pictures of the hotel on Expedia and booked it. What a lovely surprise! The room was bright and roomy. The staff very friendly. Luis Aceves at the front desk a pleasure to speak with. Parking and check in was a breeze. Although the wait staff was attentive, one drawback was that the cash register was not at the bar, but at the outside restaurant. It took time to process the payment. Seeing and chatting to older guests at the hotel, they mentioned feeling like unsafe going into the jacuzzi due to a lack of a handrail. Just a thought to add. Thank you again for a lovely stay!
