Hotel Convento Santa Catali A Hidden Gem for Unforgettable Stays I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Hotel Convento de Catalina, and I must say, it was an exceptionally delightful experience that exceeded all my expectations. Nestled in a picturesque location with rich history, this hotel beautifully merges the charm of its convent origins with modern comforts. Accommodations: The rooms were spacious and elegantly decorated, retaining the character of the convent while providing all the contemporary amenities one could desire. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep, and the views from the windows were breathtaking, offering a glimpse of serene landscapes. Service: What truly sets Hotel Convento de Catalina apart is the level of service. The staff was warm, welcoming, and always ready to assist with a smile. Whether it was providing restaurant recommendations or arranging local tours, their attentiveness made my stay feel truly personalized. Dining: The on-site dining options were splendid, featuring a menu that celebrates local ingredients and traditional cuisine. Each meal was a culinary adventure, expertly prepared and beautifully presented. Breakfast was particularly enjoyable, with a wide selection of fresh fruits, pastries, and local delicacies. Amenities: The hotel boasts a range of amenities designed for relaxation and recreation. The serene gardens were perfect for leisurely strolls, and the swimming pool offered a refreshing

This place was nice. We had breakfast there and it was really good. If you want to take pictures under the Arch this hotel is literally under the Arch. Just wake up early take picture in the morning to beat the crowd. The only negative thing the hotel has no parking.

wonderful space, historical ample spaces. Always nice to have an excellent restaurant. We had a 4 year old, so the area for children was excellent. Gardens lovely. The rooms are large and well=appointed. Location excellent. The only problem was the hard bed. I folded the extra blanket to sleep on.
