lilly, alex, and kai welcomed us warmly. the havana1957 restaurant music was audible from our room. it did not bother our sleep as it ended at the right time. the american-style continental breakfast met our expectations.
i stayed in may and the staff seemed friendly enough. the receptionist seemed a bit aggressive. there was a smell of weed on the corridors. the tiny pool area was dirty.
