Great property and stay in a safe, vibrant area. Room was ok, definitely a little tired round the edges- could do with a refurb and a deep clean of the communal carpeted areas. Breakfast was ok, they could spend more time on attention to detail with labelling foods. It would seem that in South America, a vegetarian label does not mean it will come without some kind of meat/sausage mixed in or sprinkled on top. The people who served us at breakfast and checked us in (Alex) /out were very nice and helpful.

Reneged on commitment

When I booked, the website said complimentary air transport (search criteria), but the hotel said we had to pay. When I pointed out the inconsistency, they changed their website information but would not honour their commitment. Really disappointing service
