Reviews and Ratings
House of Jasmines is a charming oasis where I felt right at home. The beautiful gardens and cozy interiors made my stay delightful. I loved the comfortable room and delicious dining options, although I experienced some inconsistency in service. Overall, this estancia is a perfect spot for relaxation, yet it could use improvements in certain areas.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The setting was beautiful, and I appreciated the spacious outdoor areas, but the service left much to be desired. While the dining at the restaurant was delightful, the room was smaller than expected for a luxury property. Overall, it felt overpriced for the level of service we received.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The property itself is beautiful, with lovely surroundings and a nice swimming pool. However, my experience was overshadowed by an unfortunate allergic reaction to the food and a disappointing response from management. While the staff members like Cynthia and Fernanda were wonderful, I found the service from management lacking. This hotel may be better suited for a short stay since dining options outside are limited, making it pricier in the long run.
I had an incredible stay at this boutique hotel nestled among stunning landscapes. The ambiance is both tranquil and luxurious, making it a perfect escape. My experience was marred only by some inconsistency in service during dining and the limited menu options. However, the spacious grounds and beautiful setting were truly remarkable.
The hotel is located in a beautiful setting but fell short of expectations overall. The rooms, while clean, felt old and in need of updates, and the service was inconsistent. Dining options were limited, and the remote location made it challenging to explore nearby restaurants. Unfortunately, a poor response to a food allergy incident overshadowed the stay, making it feel overpriced for what was offered.
