Top Plaza Principal Hotel Reviews

Garlands del Rio Riverside Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel is in a good location of Zona Romantica, and overs the lovely River Cuale making it nice to be out on the patio. It is very walkable area for shopping and close to the flea market, not far from the beach at all. I upgraded to the Marquessa Suite and really enjoyed it. (large room w/ private patio). The king bed was comfortable and the included breakfast gave several options. I tried several different items for breakfast and they were all good. Only downside was the lack of hot water - cold to barely lukewarm for a shower. Front desk staff were very nice and helpful."
