I truly enjoyed my stay at Apartotel & Suites Villas Del Rio. it felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect for easy access to various attractions, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the entry process could be a bit cumbersome, as I had to wait for the guard's inspection each time I came in or out.

I had a pleasant stay at Apartotel & Suites Villas Del Rio. The grounds were beautiful and well-kept, and I thoroughly enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub.
