Hotel Sombra del Agua
Absolutely beautiful boutique hotel. I loved everything about it. Very conveniently located to everything. Very Walkable to all major restaurants cafes and landmarks. The only thing I would suggest is a coffee machine in the rooms for those who love there coffee early in the morning like me.
