My wife and I only spent one night here, so maybe we were not there long enough to appreciate the food or other amenities that we could not find. The staff (one receptionist and the waiter) were very polite and helpful and the beds are comfortable and the room quiet. We had breakfast, which was a mix of a la... More

I just completed a week's stay at the Alta Hotel and I already miss it! I agree with the other travelers' comments about the amazing views and the wonderful breakfast and restaurant on property. The staff goes beyond friendly - they are truly amazing and 100% committed to making each guest feel special and pampered from the great folks at... More

It is a boutike place with lots of room and an outstanding resturant with everything. A fruit breakfast with coffee is included, and... More

We had booked a standard room but were allocated an extremely spacious suite. The meals in Restaurant La Luz were first class. The electrics in the room were rather confusing - I think... More
