Excellent hotel

Fantastic spot. My room was gorgeous and I’m a spoiled traveler. Felix is the go to guy to get things done. I wasn’t feeling well. His English is great as is Caesar. Some of the counter staff don’t speak English so that was a drawback. Great food. Great atmosphere.

Very few times will you have the opportunity to stay in a hotel property that's 500+ years old. The building and grounds are beautiful, the bar and restaurant are very good, and the staff is fantastic. The rooms are rudimentary in keeping with the colonial decor. You are essentially staying in a 500 year old structure, after all. But they are clean and comfortable. The bathrooms are late 80s/early 90s style luxury, but well maintained and spotless.
