This is a most charming small hotel in the very enchanting town of Zapotitlán Salinas. The owners are very kind and accommodating. Great place to stay while visiting the Tehuacan-Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve - Helia Brava Hollis, Puebla State.

The owners are wonderful. The rooms were simple, but comfortable and are good for a couple of nights. Out bathroom sink was made from oryx and the owner put a light in the casing so that the sink was the nightlight. It was very cool. The vistas from the 2nd floor were beautiful! MX$150/night/person (single or double) was perfect!
