I had a lovely stay at the hotel, situated in the heart of the tourist action and just a short walk from authentic Mexican restaurants. The rooms, though not offering a sea view as I was informed, were impeccably designed and perfect for a romantic getaway. The service was exceptional, with helpful and genuinely friendly staff. The location couldn't have been better, being close to everything, including the beach club. The dining experience was satisfying, especially after long nights at Bar Ranita. However, the rooms did have a hint of rubber smell, and they were slightly small, but that didn't bother me much since I didn't spend a lot of time indoors.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were not very comfortable for two people, but they faced the beautifully colorful 10th & 5th Aves. The service was friendly and attentive, although there were rumors of cash kickbacks from nearby car rental agents. The location couldn't be better, being just a few minutes walk away from the beach. The dining options, especially the smoked guinea fowl, always hit the spot after long nights at Bar Ranita. The facilities were modern and adequate.
