"The place is beautiful, in a great location, private and secluded, with nice amenities such as hot tubs, pool, wood BBQ. It looks just like the pictures and overall, we enjoyed our stay. But, - very limited hot water. Takes long to warm up and then only lasts 5 minutes. Not enough for 2 showers. We could only fill the amazing bath up a few inches before it got cold, so kind of useless. - lots of ants, and when we complained, we were told to deal with it ourselves - there was a birds nest...

Pico TERRAMAR & SPA

Pico TERRAMAR & SPA

8/10 Good
"Hotel itself was excellent. Absolutely perfect. And the spa was great. The only negative aspect of our stay was the massage service. My girlfriend was very disappointed with the experience because the massage didn't focus on her shoulders which were sore. She told the practitioner about it, but they essentially refused to deviate from their plan, which was pretty lack luster and not effective at relaxing her muscles."
