Honestly one of the best hotel experiences ever. Truly a gorgeous property, the staff were excellent, the location couldn't be better to walk around and see all the sights in the old town. I felt VERY safe and the rooms were amazing. The pool area/bar is wonderful and the room service was superb. I'd definitely stay here again if I go back.

We stayed here for our honeymoon and had the best time. The upgrade for the view was worth it. The staff was amazing, I had never stayed in a place as nice as this. If I had to say one thing negative it would be that our floor had a scent machine pumping arona therapy on it. While it spent nice, it really enraged my allergies. Just something I would have liked to know about before the stay

We had a challenge checking in and they upgraded us. The staff initially had challenges but management excelled in every way to make us happy. The hotel is the essence of beauty and class and fantastic hospitality. We had challenges with the door with the balcony and it was fixed - the hotel as an aging property needs continue care. But it's a gem and a once in a lifetime experience.

Overall the experience was incredible from arrival to departure. There were a few areas of opportunity namely the service at La Caleta. Our server during dinner the first night seemed lost and frazzled which resulted in mediocre service. The next morning I went to breakfast and a different server was standing in a corner with his eyes fully closed that he didn’t notice when we were seated. He also asked for our order twice
