Beautiful 1 night stay before departure!
What a beautiful hotel, with great attentive service. We’d like to especially thank, Nelson, Jesus, Paula, Cindy, Yarleidis and Emilio for their help, and their positive attitude. The stay wouldn’t have been the same without staff like those named above! Can’t wait to return!

The service was excellent from all staff. The doorman knew my name, the breakfast staff knew what I liked to order. There is nothing negative about the hotel. Exception, which is not the hotel's fault the outside construction that did not allow for sleep past 8:30am.

This property was so beautiful, clean, etc. The staff were ever so accommodating. Breakfast was fenominable.
Full courses of fruits, cheese's. Fresh baked breads of large variety. Fresh French Press coffee, and cappuccino, beautiful presentation. Cannot say enough great things about this hotel! The concierge, Ronal was so helpful with great advice.

Very expensive but it is deluxe. Right now the hotels big problem is the DJ bands playing across the street and there is no way to sleep. They played past 130am. Appears that this is a current issue for this high end hotel and upsetting guests who want to sleep. We ended up changing rooms which is a major pain. Got a smaller outdated room and no lower rate. Guest services/concierge is truly amazing. Incredible service. Bellmen as well.
