4/10 Fair

I have been staying at the Villas del Rio frequently for the last 8 years. This stay was not good however... The breakfast was terrible and the bed we slept in had mites (scabies) that we discovered the following day. I raised the issue with the management and they are resolving it.

The hotel apartment was very clean and would be perfect for a longer stay. The kitchen was roomy with a full size fridge. There were stores close by, but it was easier to get around with Uber. The breakfast had a variety of food and security was good. I’d recommend this hotel, it offers a lot for a good price.

8/10 Very good

We stayed in what seem to be a small apartment. It was definitely outdated but clean. We did have a leak from the roof that we only noticed when we had a puddle on the bathroom floor. We also ended up next to the busy road which made it very hard to sleep at night due to the noises from the road. The hotel itself was in a good area for restaurants and shopping. It is also about 20 minutes from the airport.

This property had a very friendly staff and was immaculate. It was perfect for our family, offering us an apartment-style room with lots of space. I would have loved a few more amenities in the room — in particular, a coffee setup with coffee in it so that we didn’t have to go to the main building to get coffee. Also, wash cloths in the bathroom would have been nice. Our stay was just a couple of days. This place might be better suited for a long enough stay where you buy groceries and really set yourself up. But again, it was great.
