"Nice hotel! Only issue was that I booked all the rooms for my whole family. When my son in law arrived, who is from Peru originally, they told us they would add in 18% tax to the room because he is Peruvian. He was also visiting from the US and I booked the room- and paid for it- not he! They made him prove he lived in the US. We were a party of over 10 people and all had rooms. I found this ridiculous. Otherwise it is a lovely property"
