Beautiful boutique hotel
We had 2 nights at La Fonda and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is a beautiful old building that has recently been sympathetically renovated. Beautiful spacious bedroom with large en suite. The pool area, sun terrace and foyer are stunning. Good choice of hot and cold food for breakfast.
