Santa Elena Trip

The hotel was lovely and the staff was great. The biggest drawbacks were absolutely no amenities ie restaurant, bar, snack machine, ice. There is an option to pay for a continental breakfast but it starts at 8am & I was already gone. The other concern was parking. There is a 1 way side street that is free to park. It is hard to find an open space & on the 4th night someone backed into my rental and left. They do offer paid parking in a lot a few blocks away.

This hotel has a fantastic location. Restaurants abound, La Plancha Park is at the end of the Gastronomic Street, Paseo Montejo is a block away with mansions, museums, restaurants, shop, and pedestrian Sundays. The staff is bilingual and couldn’t be nicer. The pool area is an oasis. I especially enjoyed it at sunset.

I wasn't expected to be separate from main hotel building

Hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood. Need DiDi/Uber to go places. It is a different kind of hotel, coming from western country. Only give you limited things for breakfast. Pool is ok, but you have to claim it. If some family is using it, you cannot use it, there is no place to just hang out. Rooms are unique, with sitting area. Because of the greenery at the hotel, lots of mosquitoes, I got bit many times. It was decent hotel, but, I will not be staying there next time.
