Really enjoyed a recent three-day stay at the Stanley -- a very comfortable hotel with a lot of old world colonial-era atmosphere.

A very good hotel right in the middle of the capital, Great food and service, there are great rooms and they are very comfortable. These guys also organize trips for you anywhere at great rates. more
