This is a beautiful, quiet hotel with very attentive, warm staff who are eager to please. The room itself is excellent - very large, comfortable, good ambience/lighting, with great attention to detail. I can't really recommend the food, although I had one excellent item - the scallop soup! The hotel was very gracious in accommodating our desire to shorten our stay from 5 nights to three. Our wish to change hotels was based on location only. It is at least a 10 or 15 minute taxi ride (depending on the traffic) to the nice beach hotels/dining and shopping area. The immediate neighborhood and nearest shopping district are less than desirable from my perspective. If this hotel were on the beach, I would give it a five star rating!
