"I like several things about our time at Rio Grande.It's easy to find but hidden from the street so it's pretty quiet. That made it easy to get a great night of sleep every night.It's behind a great restaurant where the food and hospitality are equally excellent. It's a small place so it's not noisy and the food was really tasty.Rio Bravo has a porch at the top of the stairs where you can relax with your morning coffee and enjoy the songbirds.Check it out. It's a great choice for location,...

"We had an exceptional experience at Canavida. Jess communicated with us well in advance and gave us the details for a smooth checkin, many recommendations for activities, restaurants and local spots. She was communicative throughout our stay. The property is breathtaking, with an infinity pool overlooking the ocean. The amenities had everything we needed, including an outdoor grill for a nice home cooked dinner. We are already planning our trip to Canavida for next year and plan to stay even...
