Casa Colonial is a lovely boutique hotel with beautiful beachfront views and a serene atmosphere. The incredible service and delicious dining options made our stay memorable. However, some aspects like the communication barriers with staff and the unheated rooftop pool were disappointing. Overall, it feels like a hidden gem, perfect for a relaxing getaway.

I had an incredible stay at this luxurious boutique hotel. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home in the beautiful surroundings. The staff were attentive and friendly, making sure I had everything I needed. The rooftop pool with stunning ocean views was a highlight, though I wish the tubs had warmer water. The dining experience was top-notch, especially the dinner at the restaurant, but the breakfast menu could use a few more options. Overall, a fantastic experience that offers great value for money, although a few minor improvements would make it even better.
