Cheap furniture, uncomfortable mattresses and the hotel only offered us a $35 coupon to a completely different resorts’ restaurant as compensation. Casago rooms are always dirty, cheap and poorly maintained. I would never recommend a room rented by Casago."

10/10 Excellent
"10 of stayed in this condo and we had the best experience! We had a minor issue with the fridge not cooling properly and Tom got it handled within the hour. I have stayed at Las Palomas many times, and this was hands down the best experience. Tom was fast to respond (like within minutes!) and attentive with any questions or concerns we had. This was such a pleasant trip. Thanks so much for everything Tom!"
