Amazing! The hotel is beautiful but the rooms are old. The staff were amazing and very professional. I love that this hotel is in walking distance from everything. I felt right at home being able to come outside and walk freely without fear. If I come back to CTG, this hotel will be high on my list.

My kids and I stayed in the La Mer suite, which was clean and spacious enough for the 3 of us. It was nice to have a living area/kitchenette to relax, in addition to the bedroom, It is located next to the street so you can sometimes hear music at night, which didn’t bother us. Luis, Paco, and Marcus were all very courteous and helpful. They made sure that we were comfortable and taken care of during our stay. We especially enjoyed the breakfast,which consisted of fresh fruit, coffee, eggs, toast, in the morning, all freshly made. My daughter and I really had fun with the tortoise who came to visit one day for breakfast. Overall, we had a nice stay and would visit again!

I am so pleased to Recommend Almirante! From the Welcoming Smiles of the staff & “Welcome” Drink…to the Singers @La Terrazza & Jholi, a Fabulous Singer at the inside Bar…I stayed 10 days & Unfortunately I don’t speak Spanish well, but everyone tried to accommodate, especially both Raphael’s, so all was well! Clearly Almirante takes pride in Excellent Customer Service as they willingly changed my room to a Quieter area & as my flight was in the Evening I was able to extend my day till 5 pm for a very reasonable rate! the Environment (beautiful plants) & Spotless! This Hotel is right on a main drag, so lots of tourists & shops on one side & the BocaGrande Beach on the other. They offer a huge Buffet Breakfast, but there are many little places to try in the area. All I can say is Gracias to All the Wonderful Staff @Hotel Almirante! I’m SO sad to be Leaving today…
