The hotel is not opulently luxurious or overdone. It's a family owned place: three brothers took over the management of the place from their Dad.

For me & every tourists nightmare - I lost my passport on the plane. The concierge, Mariana, knew how stressful this was and was on the phone to the airline, the airport, and the police for us right away. She found it for me. Just incredible. Thank you, and thanks to the airport staff and police for being well prepared for these events."
