Hotel El Guarco rooms were very clean & comfortable. Staff were very helpful & kind. The linens & towels were so white & had a lovely clean fragrance. The incuded breakfasts wre truly amazing & presentation was impeccable! We could walk to numerous other retaurants or fast food establishments for dinner meals. We were there for 6 days, & would have enjoyed a pool & lounges to enhance our stay. But we made lounges out of the benches on the balcony, by adding pillows to recline on. Also, since located in a high traffic area, it was quite noisy day & night.

The property is very well located, with access to restaurants & close to the mall. The staff is awesome, very friendly and always willing to help! Since it's in the main road, it could get noisy at times due to the traffic.
