The room smelled bad and there were cockroaches. The young receptionist with curly hair had a horrible and very annoying attitude.

El Embajador, a Royal Hideaway Hotel
Excellent hotel. The property is well maintained and beautiful outdoor spaces. Location is great. Only room for improvement is the breakfast. It's not bad, but not on par with everything else.
