Beautiful, luxurious hotel. Huge rooms, top notch service. Noisy due to location on main road, but wonderful across from major park in MC. If you buy the Continental Breakfast, always ask for the “Fruta,” over the “jugo,” the fresh fruit plate is glorious. The menu breakfasts are plentiful and really well cooked.
The beds are harder than hell, so if you are older, or a tad arthritic, you are likely going to spend a lot of time tossing and turning all night. This is the age of Casper, Saatva, and more superior foam-based, reasonably-priced mattresses for this level of property to be so far behind, no matter the country.
Front Desk is English-certified. No worries there.
Be sure to give the Front Desk a CC FOR INCIDENTALS. They won’t necessarily ask for one if you have prepaid via Expedia, etc. that will allow you to put charges at the bar and restaurant on your account. Otherwise, it will be pay-as-you-go everywhere in the property.
This is a beautiful property, in a very safe neighborhood, across from MC’s “Central Park.” It shames the “majors” (Hilton, Hyatt, etc) in El Centro for pure class, and is little more than a $10-15 Uber from ANYWHERE in the city.
The hotel based driver/car is overpriced. But, if you are a newb, there is value to having a dude standing there with your name on it. The price: $100, one-way! Uber is available, but get your Google Translate tuned up. Use an Uber to go back to the APO…about $20.
