Hotel Misión San Gil
very rustic, room not that clean, restaurant could have been great but they try too hard to be high end but really should focus on excellence. carpacio was 1/2 inch thick not sliced micro thin, no arugula no capers scant sauce. HOWEVER!!! The breakfast buffet WAS OFF THE HOOK AMAZING!
