Elser is where it’s at

Sat Aug 23 2025 15:19:16 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Larissa N

We had the most AMAZING experience. Views were immaculate, the bar next to the pool was convenient and phenomenal. We had ceviche and several rounds of different drinks and the DJ was dope. Our server was Russel and boy did he do his thangggg. There was a crazy storm when we visited and he followed us making sure we were good lol. He brought our espresso martinis to us in the pool, was opening up whatever umbrella, brought dry towels, even made it happen with the off menu ceviche we requested, made sure we were hydrated. Jeeeeeeez, content. 10 out of 10.

This is my 2nd time visiting & i must say, it have been a very pleasant & beautiful experience. Everytime I've been here, Manuel & Stefune has treated us like family. I hope i spelled Stefune name right but either way it's been a really great experience & I'm looking forward to coming back again.

Jennifer, Leandro and Alejandro were so nice and very helpful. Not only were they fast and friendly , but they also shared the secret on how they get the hotel to smell so yummy. Alejandro helped with our luggage with a huge smile and was super helpful. 10/10 recommend this place.
