La Arena Beach

We were a little disappointed with our stay. Most staff (reception and housekeeping) were not too friendly. The room configuration was not convenient - barely had a window, closet location and storage was not efficient, bathroom setup was inefficient - no door separating bathroom sink from rest of the room. If someone is sleeping while another person is using sink or showering, they might get woken up. Shower stall extremely small. Shower door opens into sink area so if someone is in front of the sink and someone else wants to exit the shower, the person in front of the sink has to get out of the way. (Maybe these things only applied to the room we received.) These, along with some other minor things make this hotel not feel like a nice 4 star hotel: soap and shampoo were of low quality and soap dispenser near sink and shower did not work easily; breakfast had a lot of choices and variety but was not stellar. Bed and pillows and bed linen not too comfortable. We requested a double bed but got 2 twin beds. We understand that the hotel was fully booked when we checked in, but staff had a dismissive attitude when we tried to request a double bed even the next day. Lobby is lovely.

The hotel staff were amazing ! They were so helpful with any questions or how to get anywhere. The room was clean and new feeling. Highly recommend this hotel!

Clean room. Walking distance to museums / stadiums. Restaurant / bar service could be improved with extra staff, one sever for both is not sufficient.
