The hotel offers excellent food and beverage options, and all the services were outstanding. Every member of the staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would especially like to recognize Paloma for her exceptional attention, kindness and outstanding service. I would also like to give a very special thank you to Sonia, who takes care of the rooms.
