We arrived late around 8.00pm and were picked up at the airport arranged by the hotel. We arrived and were warmly greeted by a friendly receptionist and Enrico. On seeing we were tired and probably hungry Enrico arrange for some sandwiches and a beer to be sent to our room. The room already had some fruit for us. The room was spacious with a nice balcony overlooking the pool. Breakfast was cooked for us each day and we also had dinner one night, the menu was limited however the pasta we had was surprisingly good. The staff also arrange for two tours for us and a driver to do a city tour. This was all done with a smile and good humor. The position is a bit remote although close to the airport and town you need a trike to get around, fortunately the hotel arrange our driver and we used him for the time we were there. I think his name was Ryan. Enrico also recommended a couple of local restaurants which we found to be excellent.
It was sad to leave these friendly hospitable people and when we finally did leave Enrico arranged for us to be driven in his car to the airport and he came with us to bid us a final farewell. In my many travels around the world I have rarely come across service as good as this, and genuine service not like the big chains where it is somewhat strained. I thoroughly recommend Paboreal Boutique Hotel, it's the best.
