Breakfast was very good. Wide variety of options were available and all were fresh and delicious. The only negative was the location of our room ("city room"). We faced the front street and the noise from late night drunkards lasted until 2 or 3 in the morning making it very difficult to sleep.

We had a wonderful stay at Canto de Luz! The location is fantastic, with plenty of cafés, restaurants, and shops just steps away. The complimentary breakfast was a real highlight and we appreciated that it wasn’t buffet-style to help reduce waste. The food options were well thought out, and the portions were just right. Every staff member we encountered was warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and both check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient. Overall, we truly felt well cared for and would happily stay again. Shout out to Lina! :)

This was such a wonderful stay! We were staying with our 2 year old, and everyone went out of their way to make us comfortable and even appreciated as a family with a small kid. We were upgraded to a villa, which was a lot of fun for our son. Room was spotless, the shower had amazing pressure with hot water, and the mattress was possibly one ofthe best we've laid our heads on. Their breakfast came with a side of smiles and always made our days start off on a positive note. Thank you Susan, Hannah, Priscillia (and everyone else who's names I might mot remember!). Highly recommednd. Good location, good vibes, and comfortable.
