Francisco and Alejandro Made the Trip!

rooftop bar special cocktail friendly person
Francisco and Alejandro at the rooftop bar were great. They anticipated our needs. They provided Prosecco and even created a special cocktail for me. I always looked for them when going upstairs. They greeted us with high fives. Freddy was attentive by the pool. He kept food and drinks coming.
The noise from the restaurant across the street bothered me. Loud music played until 1 AM every night. People sat outside and were very loud, it affected my relaxing evenings on the balcony. Next time I will bring earplugs.
Facilities

The rooftop features two jacuzzis and a pool area with lounge chairs and shaded areas. The gym includes three treadmills, two stationary bikes, and weight-lifting equipment. I saw staff keeping the area clean and well kept.

a rooftop romance

attentive service steady supply relaxing time
maria jose made our days extra special. her attentiveness was unmatched. I always had a drink when i needed one, unlike some other servers. this.
the music from the rooftop party was too loud for me. it started early and continued until late, even in our suite. this made relaxing difficult because i could hear the outside street parties very loudly.
