The location was amazing. Near transit and the cathedral, i could walk everywhere. the rooftop bar and pool were really good. it had amazing views and wonderful service, i participated in a wine tasting with victor garcia who was an awesome host!
the gym was very small and had no circulation. some rude patrons saved cabanas early, then left for hours. it prevented others from using the space, which shouldn't be allowed!
