A satisfied repeat guest. The service is so wonderful at Areca. Stayed in a different type of room this time - smaller, but just as charming and functional. Thank you, as always, Dennis.

The hotel was wonderful. The only issue for me was the limited options for food around the area, and mostly that the hotel does not offer dinner.
