The hotel is an older hotel but very well maintained. Has a beautiful swimming pool with lots of tropical plants and iguanas. Around the corner the beautiful Catedral is located and also a nice park where you can see a great monument to Simon Bolivar and there are probably more than 50 iguanas that come close to you. The malecón is walking distance. During the day is safe to walk around but I will not venture during the night. Breakfast is included and it was a great buffet with everything on it. Lunch was great also. There is a great pastry store attached to the hotel lobby .
