rooftop pool fresh fruit convenient service

The rooftop pool was awesome! It provided great views and a cool place to relax. Breakfast included fresh fruit and delicious arepas. I like that they also offer same-day laundry service, it was super convenient.

The music from the rooftop bar does go until late.
