"This place was great! The front desk staff was very helpful and the service was exceptional. I don’t know if I was in the off season but not a lot of people went to the social events which was a shame since they provided really fun activities. I would definitely book with them again :)"

Porta Hotel del Lago

Porta Hotel del Lago

10/10 Excellent
"Todo muy bien con las instalaciones y la habitación muy limpia. El personal sumamente atento con las necesidades como huespédes. Se nota que las instalaciones se han venido renovando. Únicamente como sugerencia, sería bueno implementar cambios en el sistema de ventanas para evitar que ruidos exteriores afecten el ambiente de la habitación, en especial cuando en fines de semana hay alguna celebración en alguno de los salones del hotel. Por lo demás todo genial."
