The hotel was pretty empty on this season so we had the pool all for ourselves. The kids definitely enjoyed this.
The food options were good enough and the prices affordable.

Not worth the money we paid
Run down hotel; it needs to be refurbished. Not worth the Money we paid… hint: for beakfast go to the Main Square / jardín central in Ajijic. There you can enjoy rich Mexican breakfast in any of the local restaurants at a fraction of the hotel price.
