Romantic Getaway, Truly Wonderful
delicious cocktailsattentive staffquick service
The breakfast included plenty of choices and tasted good. The restaurant staff were wonderfully polite, cleaning tables promptly. I found the cocktails at the bar luscious, especially the pinacolodas. They were Very refreshing after spending the day exploring the island.
The air conditioning was centralized and i could not alter the temperature in my room, making it a little warm at times.
