My only negative comment is that this is the first time I have issues with asking for extra coffee in the room. My wife and I normally have a coffee when we wake up and before breakfast. When I asked for more, I was told that the Hotel provides only one individual packet per room and as a courtesy ... After travelling around the World and staying in many hotels, this was a first to me. I'll be back, but I'll bring my own instant coffee.

The swimming pool was the best. I loved the fact it was heated. Unfortunately, I we woke up in the morning to a bathroom filled with tiny ants that were all over the bathroom sink. I did make them aware but the staff did not seem to care. My husband and I celebrated our 21st anniversary and they are the most expensive. We have stayed at Ritz Apart, the Atix, and a couple others. I just feel this place was a bit too pricey. But my husband told me not to compare it to the US hotels. I think I should since they ask for US money. Anyway, other than the ants and the strong smell of Lysol in the elevator everything thing else was ok. The pool was the best but not enough to return. The salad made my husband sick and we only received a partial refund for that. I wish the staff could stay at an American hotel for just one night. We travel alot because if work so maybe I am being to hard on this hotel. We gave them 4 stars because it was super clean minus the ants

I stayed in this hotel constantly with my daughters. I live in La Paz, and there are no pools that we know of so we rent a room and stay there quite often. It is April 12 and I’ve stayed in this hotel about four times this year alone. They never want to upgrade you the room which is very disappointing, especially considering as much time as we spend there and money. I’m a Gold member with Expedia and I also stay there quite frequent and they still will not upgrade my room. This particular time I stayed there on a Monday, which is the least busy time in la Paz and I still couldn’t get them to give me an upgrade. I am a great tipper, I eat at the restaurant, I get room service, I’ve gotten spa service, and I still can’t get them to give me a room upgrade. That to me is absolutely ridiculous. All in all it’s a nice hotel I just can’t see why they can’t twist their arm a little bit and give me that upgrade, but some people are just too petty. So sad.

We stayed in the Casa Grande for six days and found everything to be of the highest caliber. The best! We were able to walk all over Calacoto to visit friends, take the teleferico to the city center and easily catch a cab for other destinations. The staff was helpful, the waiters excellent, and food delicious. We plan to return.

For a hotel, that is supposed to be the best hotel, and with the prices day charge, I would expect a different level of awareness. I when I asked for my VIP benefits they made me feel like if I was some kind of welfare case asking for some kind of handout. This was exactly the text message I received: “Señor xxx, buenos días. Disculpe respóndele hasta ahora. Lamentablemente no es posible cuándo son Reservas por internet (Expedía). Hicimos la excepción la última vez. Lamentablemente tenemos restricciones.” So they’re saying that it is not possible for them to give me any kind of upgrades when I make my reservation online, but Expedia is an online reservation app. It makes absolutely no sense for them to say that. Then she says they have restrictions. So if you have restrictions that maybe they should take their hotel off of VIP status. Because the benefits I was asking for for Expedia Gold members which I am one and have been one for years. One of the days I came to pick up one of my friends that was staying in the hotel, and I parked my vehicle in front. The parking lot and front area were completely empty. One of the doorman like some kind of parking lot patrol came and said that I have to move it I said my friend will be here in 5 min. He said we need to keep this whole space empty at all times. And again I would have no problem if there was people waiting but the hotel lobby in parking we’re completely empty. You’re telling me you can’t wait 5 min! Get off VIP!!

The hotel is overall good but the magnetic card system to access the rooms is terrible, it is completely outdated, I had to ask for new keys every day sometimes more than once, at a time we counted 8 cards that didn’t work. This was a big frustration during the trip. Also, to access the parking using the elevator, hotel personnel need to activate access to the lower floor with physical key although the elevator allows magnetic card use for access for the upper floor and there is a security guard at the parking level at all times, another frustrating way the hotel is managed. Food was medium quality.
