Our stay at the Grano De Oro was one of the most enjoyable stays we have had anywhere. The hotel is beautiful but unpretentious, the staff is amazingly helpful, the restaurant is superb and the room was clean, comfortable and attractive. The room had a little closed in small patio with its own small fountain, allowing in air along with the sound of the fountain. Really a wonderful experience!
