Bathrooms need attention and renovation to a more modern standard. Furniture needs to be changed. Sofas were old yellow leather with lots of holes and rips in them. Great location, safe and quiet spot. Very spacious apartments, just need a good shake up.

Villas del Rio is very well managed--I can't say enough about how good their staff is and the facilities are really nice as well. I've seldom been this satisfied with a hotel stay, but they were outstanding! I just had the basic one-bedroom booking, but still it was like a small apartment. Don't hesitate to stay there.

I have been staying at the Villas del Rio frequently for the last 8 years. This stay was not good however... The breakfast was terrible and the bed we slept in had mites (scabies) that we discovered the following day. I raised the issue with the management and they are resolving it.

The hotel apartment was very clean and would be perfect for a longer stay. The kitchen was roomy with a full size fridge. There were stores close by, but it was easier to get around with Uber. The breakfast had a variety of food and security was good. I’d recommend this hotel, it offers a lot for a good price.

We stayed in what seem to be a small apartment. It was definitely outdated but clean. We did have a leak from the roof that we only noticed when we had a puddle on the bathroom floor. We also ended up next to the busy road which made it very hard to sleep at night due to the noises from the road. The hotel itself was in a good area for restaurants and shopping. It is also about 20 minutes from the airport.
