The hotel is one street back from the Malecon and is a great base for exploring. We booked the penthouse suite which was WELL worth the money, with a hot tub, full outdoor cooking set up, air conditioning and full kitchen with laundry. The staff were friendly, fun and welcoming. Taxis are easy to find, often parked right across the street. The hotel restaurant, CoExist, has beautiful coffees and desserts. It was closed on the Monday we visited or we would have eaten there more. Despite the hotel being right in the middle of the action, the room was quiet and we had great sleeps. I can't think of a single downside of this property.
