Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa

Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"We stayed 2 nights and the first night we missed the restaurant because they closed at 9pm. We then the next morning tried to get to breakfast and they had closed early because nobody showed up for breakfast. We enjoyed the stay in the room, and didn't really get to experience the property really. It is a very nice hotel given it's older, but the upkeep is nice. We will come back."
