Oro Verde Cuenca
From the moment we walked until we left it was fantastic. The staff was great and many spoke English. The breakfast buffet was one of the best I've had, our dinner at Aruna was very good. My wife and i both loved our massages at the spa. Super safe neighborhood big comfy rooms... stay here:)

Four Points By Sheraton Cuenca
La propiedad está al lado de un centro comercial lo que le hace muy bulliciosa y si pides cambio de habitación te ofrecen hacerlo pero te advierten que la calle es más bulliciosa aun. La piscina no estaba disponible y no nos avisaron eso en el check in. Tuvimso que quejarnos para que nos dejen usarla ...
