Highlights

Location: adjacent to Multiplaza Mall, 350 shops on-site

“This property's urban location within Multiplaza Mall makes it a compelling choice. The hotel's defining feature, the largest urban spa in Central America, certainly sets it apart. However, reports of inconsistent service and maintenance suggest opportunities for improvement; still, the versatile meeting spaces and dedicated event planning cater to business needs well.”
