    Our room was big, comfortable beds, great A/C, the hotel in general was very clean. Great security. There was always someone at the front desk, as the door was always locked. They also have an elevator which always helps. The root top pool was small but perfect. We enjoyed many margaritas at the bar in the shade. Thank you Carolina! The hotel is in a perfect location. Close to the Marina, shops, restaurants and bars. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much for all of your help Eddie, and all the wonderful friendly staff!
