Verified traveler

If you are staying in the Hotel Casa Santo Domingo, the museums are free (complementary to your stay); but if you come from outside, it's quite pricy for what the museums actually have. Rather just wander around the property to enjoy the place, the museums are not that worthy. The chocolate store is a must!

5/5 - Excellent

The art exhibit was great and fun and more meaningful when we met the artist Joel Batz.
