Upon arrival, I was greeted with a delicious pinacolada and found the rooms to be well-appointed, comfortable, with a modern great taste that incorporated local decorative styles. The small outdoor swimming pool and exercise room were nice additions. The service was very welcoming and helpful, especially when assisting us in navigating to the hotel. The location, though perfect for visiting the Alhambra Palace, had some drawbacks with its accessibility to downtown Granada. The dining experience was not impressive, but the local restaurants were more affordable. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.

The hotel offers very spacious and impeccably clean rooms, which are a rarity in Spain/Europe. The shower and bath are excellent, although there were issues with ants. Despite this, the room was incredibly quiet, and the old town was just a pleasant 15-minute downhill walk away.
