Hotel Guadalupe

3.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (16)

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (7)
"We enjoy our stay at the place, we wanted something quiet to enjoy the holidays and recharge batteries, surrounded by nature, and this property matched the need perfectly. The property itself is comfortable, quiet, well equipped (except for towels and more comfortable blankets). The view of the lake is unmatchable and delivers a great experience.
