  "Rustic and Serene"
  "My wife asked some friends for a place to stay in Mexico. They like to travel off the beaten path and recommended the Gambusino. We had family to visit in Guadalajara and so drove from there to Las Peñas, a beautiful but tiring drive. The hotel is way more beautiful in person than the website sho..."ws. We were worried a little because the website looks second rate but the hotel is rustic and beautiful. The region is stunning and relaxed. It was December and breaking 80 degrees every day. They hotel only had about 10 rooms but they were under construction so I don't know about now. The rooms are very authentic and our room on the second floor had vaulted ceilings. The staff were very professional and clean though we had trouble getting our cable to work the first day and they had to call the cable company to sort it out.

  "A bit rustic, but way beautiful"
  "My brother and I were traveling with a friend of ours who lives in the lovely city of Morelia, Mexico. We traveled to Guadalajara for a couple of days and then drove to Las Penas. My friend had stopped to look at the place a few months ago, but didn't stay as they had reservations elsewhere. At th..."at time, there were 8 rooms and there are now 18. Still small and charming. We stayed one night and wished we had made plans to stay longer. What a beautiful hotel. The cliff location, right on the ocean, the gorgeous views and the lovely rooms with a balcony to gaze at the ocean. Heaven! The food is delicious, too. Small, but varied menu. There is a nicely decorated bar area that looks like it's lots of fun on the weekends. The owner says they have live music then and during the high season. We visited in October and the rooms were incredibly reasonable. All of us thought this hotel a real winner and a great find. The owner told us there are plans for a small spa. " More >
