10/10 Exceptional! (3 reviews)

I absolutely loved my stay here. The building's renovation was done beautifully, managing to achieve a modern aesthetic without losing its old-world charm. Every corner of the interior was thoughtfully considered, showing a great eye for taste and detail. The shared spaces were a highlight, offering a communal kitchen, a dinner table, and a fridge, which made the stay feel incredibly comfortable and convenient. Having a dedicated desk in the room made working a breeze, and the ability to simply walk across the street for breakfast was a perfect start to the day. The small pool was also a welcome addition, providing the perfect spot to cool off and take a break from the August heat. Overall, it was a truly wonderful experience. I want to thank the crew for being so hospitable and friendly this truly made the stay extra great. Thank you. See you soon!

9.4/10 Exceptional! (276 reviews)

The property was very nice and clean. The rooms are spacious, clean and stylish. I do wish the room had a balcony. The food at the restaurant and the cocktails were some of the best I’ve ever had. The gym facility was small and the equipment a bit worn with not many free weights. I didn’t get to take a dip in the pool but it looked like a very nice area to relax. The proximity to the beach was the highlight of this accomodation, just a quick walk through the parking lot. The entrance fee and lounge chair rental are included in the lodging fee so that saves quite a bit of money (about $20USD per person)! The beach was beautiful and bar/restaurant attached also has great food and drink. The water is a little brown/less clear closest to the beach but turns the usual brilliant aqua green about 20 meters out. Overall, this is as a great place to stay for the money and would highly recommend to anyone - I would come back!

The property has good character with its solid marble statues scattered on the grounds and real solid wood mahogany classic furniture inside the rooms. During my recent visit, I stayed in a room that has two levels joined by wooden stairs; the upper level was like a reading/ conversation/ music listening room; and the lower level had a big bathroom with a hugh bathtub in the middle of the floor, a nice bedroom, a study area with desk plus a separate space for the coffee station. Both levels have many windows that provide ample control natural light. The ACs are modern with the silent or sleep option which allows the AC to run totally silent while keeping you cool all night. Management was excellent during my stay. Miguel, the manager, is people centered and does whatever is necessary, immediately, to ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. I enjoyed my stay at the hotel and look forward to my 4th visit.
