Pilgrim Insight

Reviews highlight its friendly atmosphere and strong facilities, though a few caution:

“Una gratificante experiencia … Eduardo y su familia son un encanto.”
— Another positive Google/booking

Summary: A reliable, well-equipped stop offering comfort, pool access, and hearty meals—but the price premium and occasional service inconsistency are worth noting. Best suited if you want amenities and atmosphere, not just a bed.
