10/10 Excellent

This a stunning boutique hotel located in the most beautiful little town. Overall excellent stay. The only negatives were average steak for dinner (better off walking up the hill to siete tigres for one if their incredible lomo pittas) and we had to ask more than once for a couple of things like resetting wifi and changing a corked glass if wine. Also the size of a glass if wine was a joke! The breakfast was amazing and they use herbs grown on their terrace for cocktails and in the kitchen.

HOTEL MISION SANTA BARBARA

We had a great stay in this hotel. The layout is great. The rooms are filled with a feeling of history. The pool is lovely. Breakfast was substantial and tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful. A very short walk and you are in the central square of one of the most beautiful towns in Latin America. What more could you want. A quick thanks to everyone at the hotel for making our stay so memorable. Until next time. Muchas gracias.
