My experience at Don Rafa Suites Residence was absolutely wonderful and exceeded our expectations. We stayed with our family, and from the moment we arrived, we received friendly, attentive, and professional service. The property is beautiful, elegant, clean, and comfortable.We especially appreciated the valet parking service. Our vehicle was well taken care of throughout our entire stay, and the service was always fast and efficient. We also had a late checkout, which made our experience even more convenient and enjoyable. Everything was handled smoothly and professionally. One detail we absolutely loved was how amazing the property smelled. The entire place had such a fresh, clean, and elegant scent that made the atmosphere even more welcoming. Overall, we felt very comfortable and well taken care of from beginning to end. The experience was even better than we expected. Don Rafa Suites Residence was truly a 10/10 experience for us, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay, whether traveling with family or enjoying a getaway as a couple. We would absolutely stay here again! ❤️

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel, staff very friendly and helpful- breakfast in the morning was very good for a free continental, rooms were spacious and clean. Restaurant charges for tap water so watch that, but food and bar was very good up there. Pool is a Sundeck and sunbathing pool only, but very nice.
