Casa Lucia Member of Melia Collection
Clean beautiful room, great reception and spa staff. Expensive for what we got. There is a small bar and lounge. On one of our 2 night stay this was being used by private party. So nowhere really to go as bar area chilly and too cold to sit outside. Second night very loud music from lobby until 11pm ...
