I liked the fact that it was located right in the heart of everything. I walked out the front door and the shops and restaurants were right there. The only thing I did not like was once you set foot off the property that you were sometimes accosted by persons selling stuff but I know that is not and issue from the hotel.

Stayed at El Marquez for a week with my wife. We were very happy with the service that was provided. Junior who worked the front of the house was fantastic, always smiling and took care of any detail that needed attending to. Armando was also an exceptional employee always ready to assist when needed. The rooms were always cleaned promptly and the pool area always kept neat. The food in the restaurant was also very good. Rooms were very quiet. Would stay there again

The hotel is architecturally gorgeous - each room has its own unique look and feel - and there are several mini living rooms for friends and families to gather. It’s also surrounded by plenty of dining options and is very, very safe. The best aspect, however, is the staff who were friendly and helpful. I will definitely return to this hotel.
