InterContinental V Centenario

InterContinental V Centenario Review

This major Malecón property does a lot right. All rooms—not just the deluxe ones on the Club Level that have sea-view balconies—are in subtle earth tones, more masculine than tropical cheery. Rooms on the 10th-15th floors have 32-inch plasma TVs. Bedding and pillows have been upgraded throughout, and there is lovely turndown service. The international cuisine at the hotel restaurants is memorable, from the ample breakfast buffet to gastronomic dinners. Service is professional, and conferences run smoothly. Leisure time can be spent on the swanky pool deck, where discerning attendants dispense frosty drinks (including smoothies) and plush, pastel towels, or at the classy casino. There's also a 24-hour fitness center and a spa and beauty salon at this amenities-heavy hotel.
