There is a famous quote, the devil is in the details and though we are NOT the devil we sure do love the details. Any hotel can provide a bed, a roof and some towels. Any tour guide can take you to a destination site and walk you around. Anyone can serve up a cup of coffee, fruit and yogurt for breakfast. But not everybody looks closely at the details of each of these experience. Not everybody takes the time to think through the little details that will make every moment, just that much better.

Just like the song, ch-ch-ch-changes have happened at Hotel Cielo. New amenities are in, the rooms had had a bit of an up-grade. We don't know what we were waiting for, but the wait is over! It has been fun designing these changes and finding the exact items that we think will be appreciated and noticed.

Everyone knows that a bad nights sleep is a drag. Having a bad nights sleep while on vacation, even worse. There are some things we can not control that have us up half the night, but there are some things that we can control to ensure we get our recommended nights shut eye ( 6 hours when you are working, 10 hours when on vacation!) Beds are a hotels greatest asset
As travelers we know the difference between a bed, a good bed and a great bed. The best investment any hotel can make is a great bed and pillows. Pillows are pretty personal but a great mattress will please everyone. Take your...
The hotel was built almost 20 years ago and most of the details were chosen for us. Ceramic tiles, wall arches and design accents were inherited, we did not choose them. But we did preserve them! It is nice to think we did all of this ourselves, but credit must be given to the wonderful woman who built the hotel...while she was in love. Yes her inspiration came from a deep love for her partner and her love is felt throughout the hotel. What attracted us to the hotel and continues to be a topic of conversation with guests, are the ceramics. Ceramic tiles, ceramic sinks, more ceramic tiles and more...
