I really enjoyed my stay at Buena Vida. The unique touches, like the cake and handwritten poems left on our door, made it feel special. I loved the impressive spa and the breakfast, with fresh baked goods. However, the loud music on our first night was a huge downside, as it disturbed our sleep. Also, it would be great if they provided earplugs for guests since the music can be loud.

The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with nice balconies and hammocks for relaxation. The dining options were fresh and delicious, particularly the breakfast.

My stay at the hotel was unforgettable, thanks to the outstanding service from the staff and the comfortable surroundings. The terrace was a fantastic bonus, providing a great space to unwind. However, my friends did encounter some issues during breakfast, and a couple of staff interactions could use improvement. The peaceful atmosphere and yoga sessions were highlights, but there were some shortcomings in dining that could be addressed.
