Picuas Village

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay overall and the location was beautiful and peaceful. However, there are a few things that I feel need improvement, especially when it comes to security. The entrance door does not have a lock, and the outside gate remained open all night, which made us uncomfortable because it seemed like anyone could walk directly into the village/property. We also had issues with some of the amenities. The deck lights did not work at all, which made the outside area very dark at night. The mini pool also was not working properly; only the lights worked. We still enjoyed our family vacation and the property itself has a lot of potential, but better security and making sure all of the advertised amenities are working would make the experience much better."

For larger groups, it's an ideal choice because you have your own space to cook, watch a movie, and even do laundry, while still enjoying the hotel amenities."
