I stayed in the basement and had absolutely no cell service. Not sure what can be done about that but I had to go out into the hall to make a phone call. Otherwise I would have given 5 stars.

Resort fee is a bit too much. Especially if only two small bottles of water offered at check in. Kitchen is missing microwave, potholders/oven mitts, ice tray to make ice in freezer. Location is perfect. Too bad restaurant Madre only open Wednesday-Saturday.
