Whether they represent historical events or are just there to put a smile on your dial, each and every sculpture has an interesting tale to share. Appreciate the creativeness of Caballito and learn the significance behind it. There's a great range of things to keep you busy in this destination. Hear the sound of the waves rippling around you as ships sail by at Los Muertos Pier. If you're one for romance, it's an unsurpassable for a lazy afternoon walk with a loved one!

"I loved the layout of the hotel. If you’re an Expedia gold member the perks are great. We got upgraded and the upgrade came with access to the cute VIP lounge which has premium self mixed beverages and a variety of tapas throughout the day. Restaurants were great and the buffet food was pretty awesome as well. The standard drinks are your typical all inclusive quality but I did notice they cleaned the cups better than at most other all inclusive places I’ve been (even though I always bring my own cup). The beds were so comfortable and the balcony was nice and comfortable. I loved it and will definitely return."

"Friendliness of the staff, location, amenities, cleanliness, food, overall facility. Due to coronavirus and lack of guests (I assume) 3 of the 4 restaurants closed while we were there plus there was only 1 bar open. For this I don't blame the staff or management, they continued to be friendly and accommodating. Lot of work done to ensure cleanliness. We had to cut our stay short due to pandemic, only able to stay 5 of our scheduled 10 days."

"We absolutely loved staying at the Sheraton Buganvilias! We were All Inclusive, and we felt relaxed and spoiled the entire week we were there. The food in the buffet restaurant was great, tons of options, and the chef and staff were so accommodating and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Jose, Ivan, Eduardo, in particular. Drinks were great and kept flowing!. The beach isn’t great, not sandy, but the 2 pools are wonderful, each with a swim up bar. It’s an easy, quick bus ride or taxi into the Centro, or Old Town. We had no issues with the Vacation Club reps - no-one tried to sell us a time share in the lobby. All in all, a fabulous vacation, and we’d love to stay here again."
