Descobertas Boutique House

Mid July 2022 was an intense heat wave; the pool, grassy back yard, and the strong AC were life savers! Staff were young, attentive, very hard working, spoke English well, and genuinely wanted to make our stay comfortable. The infinity pool crushed it! Breakfast was amazing: eggs, bacon, cheeses, fresh baked croissants, fruits, cereals, other breads, fresh squeezed OJ, and fresh cappuccinos/etc. made by staff. Our upper room faced the pool and yard-- I'de suggest this orientation vs rooms along the square. This is not a modern building; elements of unique old world style mixed with tinge of datedness produce awkwardness at times (our room was in separate building w/o direct access to garden/pool/dining room but the room itself was large, spotless, fresh, with everything working well (wifi, AC, shower, etc). Several dining options nearby. Metro took us swiftly to the airport in 35 minutes w one easy transfer. Don't recommend taxi/ uber for d/t traffic. Metro zips you right downtown to the River: very easy and cheap to use and it's literally right out the front door of the hotel. Wish we used this sooner!
