My stay at Badillo Zen Hotel was good. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the decor beautifully represented the colonial era. The location couldn't have been better, though I struggled a bit with the language barrier since little English was spoken. Overall, the experience felt authentic and safe, but I wish the pool had more space for lounging.
