I appreciated the beautiful colonial architecture. It created a unique atmosphere. the hotel provided a complimentary shuttle to nearby attractions, a very useful perk. the breakfast offered many choices and i liked the fresh, local ingredients. the staff were consistently attentive and helpful.
I found a few mosquitoes near the lobby in the evenings. Perhaps mosquito repellent devices might help.
