Pros:

El Hotel es muy bonito, tiene una ubicación excepcional, el desayuno es fabuloso y y el sector de la piscina de la azotea muy cómodo y bonito. Tuvimos la suerte de ser atendidos en el desayuno por Gina, una señora muy preocupada y amable que nos enseñaba recetas colombianas todas las mañanas. Un agrado de persona!

Cons:

En general, la experiencia fue bastante buena, pero efectivamente hay espacio de mejora posibles. Una de ellas respecto a las instalaciones del gimnasio que es bastante pequeño y no muy cómodo. La atención en el bar de la piscina tampoco es muy eficiente. Excesivamente lento aún cuando no había casi nadie comiendo el día que nos tocó pedir almuerzo ahí. Esperamos más de una hora por platos muy simples y rápidos.

El estándar de Servicio es algo disparejo. Si bien la las personas son amables, no hubo una gestión muy rápida de los requerimientos que hicimos. Pedimos ayuda con la organización de un Tour y quedamos a la espera de una respuesta que nunca llegó. Tuvimos que volverla a plantear el requerimiento para que se nos diera respuesta. Por otro lado, el aseo de la habitación no era del todo impecable y todos los días (estuvimos 4) faltaba algún tipo de insumo (reposición de toallas, cápsulas de café, papel higiénico…) por lo que tuvimos que estar llamando permanentemente a recepción para solicitar la reposición.

This could be a great hotel but it needs a lot more TLC and a management team who care about guests
Pros:

The two best things about the hotel is the location and the rooftop with pool

Cons:

Rooms are very poorly serviced - often times leaving just one towel, empty tissue box, one day even a bed sheet that was ripped
Had to request numerous room changes because many had very loud noises from outside A/C units - which is fine if you do not mind noise but not if you like to sleep in a quiet room
Despite an extended and multiple stay was never approached by a manager to query about my stay - despite some of the issues I had
The floor of the roof top by the pool is a big health hazard as stone and very slippery when wet - a disaster waiting to happen
The gym room is a joke - machines super old and wobbly
Main girl at reception super dour and never breaks a smile
