The hotel was beautiful. For a boutique hotel, you iften loose some amenities, but this hotel had everything. A gym, pool, restaurant, lobby bar, and market to buy drinks. The staff was amazing. From checking in to their recommendations, we had an amazing experience.

We stayed for a week and had an incredible experience from start to finish. The hotel is beautiful, modern, and very well maintained, with a peaceful atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed — from the super cozy bed to the high-quality bath products. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive throughout our stay, always welcoming and ready to help with anything we needed. The location is perfect — close to everything, yet tucked away in a quiet area. The common spaces like the pool and restaurant are also gorgeous and ideal for relaxing. We would definitely recommend Don Rafa Boutique Hotel & Residence to anyone looking for a high-quality stay with great service and a touch of elegance. We’d absolutely come back!
