Stayed at this gem for two nights and absolutely loved every moment. The hotel exceeded all expectations—serene, charming, and truly unique in atmosphere.

Absolutely love this place — I stayed here last year and was so impressed that I had to come back. After nearly 20 years in the hospitality industry, I’ve seen countless hotels, but La Maison stands out as one of the most special. It’s a true hidden gem — quiet, intimate, and incredibly well-cared for. The rooms are spotless, the grounds beautifully landscaped, and the pool and spa area are clean and inviting. What really sets it apart is the vibe after 5 PM — staff wrap up their shift, giving you complete privacy to relax in your own space. Whether you're lounging by the fire pit, swimming under the stars, or grilling in the outdoor kitchen, it feels like home. But what truly blows me away is the team. Blanca, who handles breakfast setup in the mornings, remembered us from our previous visit — such a personal touch! And Star, the new manager, is simply phenomenal — warm, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel like family. It’s not just a hotel stay; it’s like visiting friends. Every detail, from the thoughtful amenities to the quiet charm, shows real care. I can’t wait to return.

Breakfast cooked fresh to order was a highlight—rich, flavorful, and exactly what you want to start the day right. I loved chatting with other guests in the heated pool, sharing stories and laughs with such warm, genuine people. It’s clear this place is built on inclusivity and hospitality. I’m already planning my next visit—this isn’t just a getaway, it’s a retreat that truly feels like home.

Orbit in- 21 and over
Staying at this place felt like stepping into the 1970s—full of mid-century modern charm and vintage furniture that instantly transported me back in time. The room came with a record player, and spinning a classic vinyl while sipping something cool by the poolside bar was pure nostalgia. The owner and fellow guests? All former '60s and '70s souls, now silver-haired but still full of heart and quiet warmth. Talking with them wasn’t just a conversation—it was like listening to living history. Their stories, laughter, and genuine kindness made every moment feel meaningful. It’s rare to find a stay that blends design, atmosphere, and human connection so perfectly. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s an experience. If you’re looking for something real, authentic, and unforgettable, this is it.
