Great hotel BUT Golf Course closed every Monday.
Pros:

Let me be clear this is a great hotel. BUT they failed to deliver on the reason I booked it - Golf! Despite the name including the word GOLF the golf course is closed each and every Monday for maintenance ie 14% of the week. This actually means mowing, strimming and blowing. All regular tasks that other Golf courses around the globe all manage to complete early each morning! In addition you are not allowed to enjoy the Clubhouse facilities as this is for Golf members only. Our room was very comfortable with a view of the closed golf course. The Breakfast is superb. The restaurant in the evening is only OK. The swimming pool is fabulous and the reception staff friendly.

Cons:

Don't include the word Golf in the name of a hotel if it dosnt open consistently!

una excelente estancia
Pros:

La ubicación es muy buena, muy céntrica. Las instalaciones, el desayuno y el bar muy bien atendidos. Aún cuando el restaurante Meztizo estubo en remodelación, no se sintio ninguna molestia.

Cons:

Solicitamos un Late Check Out de solo 2 horas y no nos lo concedieron. Nos indicaron que costaría la mitad de una noche, lo cual nos pareció excesivo por 2 horas más.

Pésima
Cons:

El Hotel no tiene buena atención con los infantes, este es un hotel que no ha pensado en las familias con niños pequeños, no tienen la cordialidad ni la atención de recibir familias con bebés, evitar alojarse en este hotel si tienen niños menores de 10 años, ya que la hospitalidad no es la adecuada por el personal del hotel, al igual eviten llegar antes del del check In 3 pm, porque te van a hacer esperar en un lobby no apto para recibir familias que vienen cansadas de un viaje largo, no lo recomiendo 👎🏾
