Our stay was very good, and the highlight was the extraordinary effort of the staff, for a variety of reasons. The most significant was the city water was shut down for 18 hours and the staff made every effort to minimize the major inconvenience.

1/5 - Terrible

Poor customer service. They don’t offer an experience in their hotel. It’s a disaster. They’re interested in your money. That’s all. They never said sorry about our bad experience at encanto island and it was very expensive.
