Arcadia Condo Suites
Pool was cold, so no one used it. Everyone was crowded in the jacuzzi. Also, the Saunas didn't have a co-ed option, so you can't enjoy it with a partner. But everything else was magnificent. Will definitely stay again!!

The staff were very nice and helpful. The room was clean and spacious. I really appreciated the large shower, fully equipped kitchen with washer and dryer. The location is a short walk to the Iglesia del Carmen train station, restaurants and coffee shops.
