My kids and I stayed in the La Mer suite, which was clean and spacious enough for the 3 of us. It was nice to have a living area/kitchenette to relax, in addition to the bedroom, It is located next to the street so you can sometimes hear music at night, which didn’t bother us. Luis, Paco, and Marcus were all very courteous and helpful. They made sure that we were comfortable and taken care of during our stay. We especially enjoyed the breakfast,which consisted of fresh fruit, coffee, eggs, toast, in the morning, all freshly made. My daughter and I really had fun with the tortoise who came to visit one day for breakfast. Overall, we had a nice stay and would visit again!
