Our room was clean. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious and the breakfast staff was super accommodating. Don Javier, our bellman, hooked us up with a trusted taxi driver. Natalia, our housekeeper, was friendly and helpful. Very attentive & courteous staff all around.

Ok, but would not stay here again.
Pros:

The Location

Cons:

First they gave me the key to someone else’s room, I walked in and someone’s else’s stuff was there. Went back to reception and told them. I reserved for a suite and it did not look like a suite, they never gave me a remote control for the tv, and we only got the electricity going in the room once, then it would not stay on and we were in the dark the rest of the night and morning we were leaving.
