Gorgeous property, with kind, if somewhat shy staff. Would definitely stay here again. Some Spanish would be helpful, as English is limited among some staff.

The building was historic and colonial (beautiful) yet the rooms are modern and luxurious. It was situated in the heart of the center, surrounded by shops, bars, and restaurants.
The staff was was very friendly and accommodating, making this a great option for couples or families.

Stayed at El Marquez for a week with my wife. We were very happy with the service that was provided. Junior who worked the front of the house was fantastic, always smiling and took care of any detail that needed attending to. Armando was also an exceptional employee always ready to assist when needed. The rooms were always cleaned promptly and the pool area always kept neat. The food in the restaurant was also very good. Rooms were very quiet.
Would stay there again
