El Marqués Hotel Boutique

Breakfast was excellent - fruit, bread, juice, coffee and arepa Location too was excellent - right in the heart of the Calamares old town easy walking distance to everything. A traditional historic mansion with a huge courtyard and very large rooms on the first floor. No elevator so not for the infirm. Excellent swimming pool. Superbly converted and renovated to a hotel.

There is a live band in the courtyard every evening so do not expect an early sleep albeit the music is excellent. My room had a large window but it was whited out so there was no view. I saw another room without even that - no window at all. However, my biggest complaint is one of principle and prevents me from giving a top rating. The temperaures are 30C+ and 100% humidity. They provide 1 small bottle of water in the room. The next day there was none provided but when I checked I was told that I could use the bottles of water in the fridge. I did so. On check-out I was told that I was only entitled to ONE small bottle a day. They charged me $6 EACH for the 2 extra bottles I used. OUTRAGEOUS and spoiled the entire weekend. When I complained they knocked 50 % off but the principle remains - this is NOT a cheap hotel. How come they cannot provide free water.

I can’t say enough good things about this property. I have already recommended it twice to people. Would absolutely stay there again.

Espectacular hotel boutique, the staff was great and the location excellent!!

Nothing.

Lovely breakfast

Rather loud music in the restaurant throughout the day. No window to the outside but very high ceiling
