Hotel Spiwak Chipichape Cali
Our stay was good except at breakfast time because there is a large dog that barks, and on none of the days we were there was it on a leash. When it runs around, its hair falls into the food.

I really enjoyed the luxurious lobby,restaurants, and staff! The rooms are a bit outdated but the pressure of the water while I showered made up for it! I would definitely stay here again.
