The hotel had a convenient location in the tourist area of Bocagrande, near good restaurants. The rooms were equipped with kitchen facilities and good bathrooms, though the windows only faced a small light shaft. The balcony was a nice touch, offering some outdoor space. I found the dining options included a variety of fruits, but missed a hot food selection. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
