“In my opinion, this adults-only hotel carves out a niche with its clear focus on the LGBTQ+ community and wellness amenities. Its location is a definite plus, situating guests within an easy walk to both the old quarter and La Concha Beach. The rooftop pool and well-equipped gym are notable assets.”
