The failures during our stay included: Under maintained Grounds & Broken Amenities: The lawns were poorly kept, and major signature water features, specifically the fountains in the Plaza San Saba and across the main pool areas, were broken and non-operational. Trashy Corporate Takeovers: The central Esparza Lawn was entirely booked out for a loud private event that completely destroyed the resort's peaceful atmosphere.
