Puerto RicoThe hotel was perfectly located in the central city and with a beautiful park in front of it. Truly so peaceful yet in the center city which is hard to find. Staff and hotel were perfect. So nice. So clean and friendly. Special shoutout to Paolo who was the best concierge I’ve ever had and went way above and beyond with all our needs and questions. I highly recommend this stay for a romantic hotel getaway with your other half. So happy we chose this hotel!
United States of AmericaExcellent hotel in a great location. Staff was great as well as amenities.
United States of AmericaThis property checked every possible box. We have stayed at some of the nicest hotels around and this one was at the top. Great location for views and only 10 min walk to central area. The staff was beyond accommodating and went above and beyond for us in every way. Food at the restaurant was 5 star and very very good. They just upgraded the pool which was our favorite part during the day and at night. Such an unbelievable experience and we will definitely be back here. Thank you again to all the staff! They are 5 star and 10 ratings for a reason.
