El Portal

10/10 Excellent

Great place to stay, just out of the park. Spacious self contained apartment with laundry facilities available. I was a little hesitant about staying here as the rooms looked dark and outdated in the photos but was pleasantly surprised when we got there. Having an outdoor area by the river was pure bliss after a full day in the park.
