Extremely friendly staff. Very clean and amazing stay. Everything was on point, looked like it had recently been renovated. Amazing view, we had a car but there were two great restaurants 5 minutes walk away. I would definitely stay here again.

Very difficult to find, not listed on Google maps under this name and front desk seemed unable to give any directions! The room was not clean especially the floor. The shower was literally just a trickle, you could barely get wet and I had to find a salon to wash my hair, and the bed was like sleeping on bags of concrete. They did NOT provide water for the room and when we asked they told us they ran out. There were not kayaks for rent as stated and no amenities were provided at all. Everything they promised in the advertisement was a lie. After 3 days of no sleep we ended our vacation early. We had to pay to change our flights so we are going to request a refund. I highly recommend you STAY AWAY!

Decent place, but out of the way
I would not stay here again, but it's not because it's a bad place. We took an Uber from the Guadalaraja airport, which is around a 40 minute drive. Unfortunately, Uber doesn't have this place correctly mapped. Which meant the Uber driver had to stop and ask about 6 different people how to get here. Which cost us more money since it took an additional 30 minutes to find the hotel. There is a sign on the left side of the road that says La Riberena, that's the ONLY way you'll find it if you've never been here. Or, in Google Maps, enter "Finca La Riberena". That takes you right to it. It's actually a former residence, and is nestled amongst other residences, right on the lake. It's also very out of the way, and there are very few restaurants within walking distance. When we finally found the hotel at 7pm, we were hungry but there were no Ubers or taxis available. Fortunately, the clerk that checked us in gave us a menu of a place that delivered. The hotel has tables and chairs, but didn't show any sign of offering food. The grounds are well taken care of. The room itself (#9) was upstairs on the corner, so we had a great view of the lake. The room was clean, the bathroom could have been better. Wifi was really good, so we were able to watch Netflix. We took a bus to Chapala, 9 pesos (50 cents). Next time we'll stay in Chapala, just because there is so much more within walking distance.

Nice place but could be better
That is a nice a comfortable place, good clean room, our room had small kitchen. Secure, quiet, parking for a car on premises. Cons: for $114/night hot water was barely running from the shower head. No breakfast included.

Our room was dirty with mold in the bathroom. The shower didn’t work. The sink didn’t drain. We were very cold in the night as the room is not heated. The manager offered us another room the next day. We just wanted to leave and we Did. The manager said that he would give us a full refund of our deposit..$570.00. We have yet to see it. Contact with the manager is poor as he is unavailable and claims that he doesn’t speak English. I am disputing the charge with Visa. Beware...stay away. Alan Mendelssohn.

Bonito hotel!
Excelente atención, camas súper cómodas, ofrecen desayuno a precio accesible. En general el hotel es limpio excepto la alberca, ya que está muy sucia Se puede apreciar una capa de aceites, bichos muerto y lo peor moho en las paredes de la alberca dando la impresión de que no se había limpiado en algún tiempo; obviamente no pudimos disfrutar la alberca como queríamos.

Would rate an 8 if floors and corners were clean
The lake view is nice. The grounds are nice. The apartment-like room is big. Nice hot shower and plumbing worked good. Front desk person was nice and helpful. The room was NOT clean (I wiped the stairs and floors down the first day--ended up with a very dirty towel.) We had to buy a no-stick pan, cutting board, sharp knife. We bought our own coffee. If you stay more than a few days arrange room cleaning with front desk person, as it won't happen automatically between 9 and noon, like you may be used to.

Great stay. I do recommend it.
I stayed in the villa without the lake view. Villa has a living room and kitchen downstairs, and bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Very clean with great wifi service. Property is lakefront and kayaks are available to use included with the price. Has a nice hangout terrace with large TV next to the pool. I stayed during a weekday so only 4 rooms (out of 9) were occupied. Very quiet neighborhood. Property is extremely secure. Downside was the parking. Extremely tight spot. The car gate entrance has to be opened manually by you. Oxxo store about 4 min walk but very dark after the sun goes down.
