The chicken was tender, the vegetables were fresh, and the creamy chipotle sauce was smoky, flavorful, and just spicy enough without overpowering the dish. The refried beans, fresh guacamole, and handmade tortillas brought everything together perfectly. I even found myself making little tacos with each bite. I paired it with an iced latte, which was the perfect way to start the morning. The service was warm, friendly, and welcoming. I'm still learning Spanish, and everyone was patient and kind, making me feel right at home.

Food was very good and so was service from the friendly staff. We loved the green juice and the naranjada. The naranjada is orange juice blended with seltzer water. I opted for a bacon omelet. It came with fresh fruit (papaya, pineapple and cantaloupe) and mashed potatoes. The creamy mashed potatoes were fantastic. I also ordered a side of frijoles (refried beans) They were nice and chunky but very spicy. My omelet was a tad dry and needed more cheeses. Still, we will definitely come back.

They had bottomless coffee and a bunch of freshly squeezed juices which was a great start. Obviously, I had to order pancakes at a place called the Pancake House. I expected them to be good, but wow...they ended up being some of the best pancakes I've ever had. Thick, fluffy, and somehow perfectly soaked up the syrup without getting soggy. It was a stack of three and looked like way too much at first... but I genuinely couldn't stop eating them. My boyfriend got the French toast, and I barely managed to sneak in one bite before it disappeared but that one bite was incredible! I get why he didnt want to share it lol. The service was quick and super friendly. We were joking around with our waiter the whole time which made it even better. The whole place has a really cute vibe too with plants everywhere. Honestly, it was the perfect last meal and such a great way to spend our final morning. I'm definitely going to be dreaming about those pancakes for a long time.

I ended up eating here 3 times during my stay at the hotel (see separate review). I was the only one eating late afternoon lunch while waiting for my room to be ready. The Mahi-Mahi Fish & Chips was breaded differently than any I've had before, but it was good and the fish was not overdone. They didn't have malt vinegar but the vinegar provided was ok. Corona beer at about 80 pesos was cheap compared to US. Intrigued, I tried the vegetarian Green Omelet for breakfast. Green olives, zucchini, avocado, you get the picture. It tasted better than it looked. For dinner, Tortilla soup was good but a bit too salty for me. I'm not sure what "Artisan Pasta" means, but the Artisan Fungi pasta was excellent; along with the cream sauce, it was probably the best tasting I've ever had! Loaded with mushrooms! The martinis were also pretty cheap at about 79 pesos. So cheap I had 2. The wait staff was very attentive. Food took a bit longer to arrive than I expected, especially since I was one of two guests eating there during my meals; however, the next time I'm in the area, even if not staying at the hotel, I'd definitely stop by for more Artisan Pasta.
