Our family had a wonderful time at the hotel during a wedding weekend. The rooms were not only reasonable in price compared to Ponce but also felt nicer. However, we did miss having a restaurant on-site for evening dining, as everything was across the street, and it would have been more convenient. Overall, we had a lovely stay.
