This hotel is beautiful. The property, in general, has a mix of colonial and modern. The staff is very attentive. The spa is Zen, and the massage was as good as any. In the evening, I could print some documents that I had forgotten at home at the business center. Everyone was very helpful.

Nice hotel but staff is atrocious
I booked a 4 night stay. Upon booking i noticed a $50 roundtrip transportation option. I decided to call long distance to hotel to set up transportation. I spoke to hotel lady and she acknowledged the $50 option and ask me if i would like to PAY NOW or at hotel. I chose hotel to keep call short. I get picked up and upon arrival to hotel I am being told its 50 one way. The lady then proceed to tell me "oh that option" is through barcelo directly... excuse me? Why was it on hotel.com and why when i spoke to representative over the phone she said to pay now? Why ask me to pay now if i need to go through "barcelo" and it would be cheaper... ALSO clearly your staff knows the options since i was told about barcelo at hotel and the cheaper price,YET your establishment decided to book the most expensive option even though you have cheaper options knowingly. If im calling talking about $50 on website and to "pay now" why would you choose a random high price private taxi??? Very unprofessional and seems like a money grab/scam. ALSO im a tall gentleman from NY some tattoos and when im on vacation ,i will gladly wear shorts and tshirts.I understand this is a very formal hotel but after the third day of leaving the hotel 15 different times,to be stopped by security and stereotyped and asked if i have a room here when i have room key in hand is RIDICULOUS! If i in another country i would of made a big deal but i kept it professional unlike the liars they employ! Its a shame, hotel is nice
