Top Zona Central Hotel Reviews

Casa Nova Hotel

8/10 Good

"I liked how the staff goes above and beyond to accommodate the needs of the clients. The breakfast is impressively good. The pool was actually very enjoyable. NOW, the neighborhood might disappoint when you arrive, but its people are great. I recommend a restaurant near by ( you have to meet Alá there) to take a caipirihna. Everything is close by, pharmacies, beauty parlor, barber shop, attractions, and the beach is just an Uber away. The price fair too. Casa Nova is the SPOT!"
