Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Unbeatable location directly on Plaza Cívica next to the Mission
- Stunning 'Pink Palace' colonial architecture with heavy wood doors and ironwork
- Rooftop terrace with views of the Sierra de la Giganta mountains
Snel Overzicht: It’s a beautiful museum piece that sometimes forgets it’s a functioning hotel—expect charm, but also expect plaza noise and a pool that might be more 'decorative' than swimmable.
Beoordeeld door @Twintravel.03: I stayed in this 200-year-old pink hotel and it felt like a movie set. The rooftop pool views at sunset are unforgettable, and I loved that I could bring my dog along! It's the perfect mix of history and comfort.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the glass-bottom pool actually swimmable?
It's hit or miss. While iconic, recent guests often report it being cold, murky, or underfilled. Treat it as a bonus, not a guarantee.
Is there parking at the hotel?
No. There is no dedicated parking lot. Guests park on the street around the plaza, which is generally safe but first-come, first-served.
Does the hotel have an elevator?
No. It is a historic two-story building with stairs only.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, a simple continental breakfast is included, usually consisting of fruit, yogurt, bread, and coffee.
How far is the beach?
The Malecon (waterfront boardwalk) is a 3-minute walk (about 2 blocks) from the hotel.
Is there a gym or spa?
No gym. Spa services are limited to in-room massages upon request; there is no dedicated spa facility.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The rooftop terrace is open even if the bar is closed—bring your own wine for a private sunset view over the Mission.
- ✨
Ask for a room with a 'balcony'—some Junior Suites have small Juliette balconies opening to the square.
- ✨
The spiral staircase to the roof is tight; ask staff for help with luggage if you're on the top floor.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'glass bottom' of the pool is visible from the lobby ceiling—so don't swim in anything too revealing.
💡Hot water can be temperamental and take a long time to arrive in the shower.
💡The ground floor rooms have very little privacy if you open the curtains, as they face the central courtyard.
💡Wifi speeds are surprisingly good (50+ Mbps) for a historic building.
💡You might spot cockroaches in the courtyard at night—it's the tropics, but still worth noting.
