Because of the high increase in electricity rates in Mexico I had to raise the rates to offset the costs and yet still have competitive rates. There are 4 large mini-split AC units and several space heaters to keep it cozy in the cooler winter nights. I hope you understand the situation. I am still confident the Shell Castle is the best value in all of San Carlos because of it size and uniqueness.
