vacation to Palace of the Lost City
Hotel reception and driveway very impressive. Rooms nice and spacious, although a little dated. Bathrooms could definitely do with an update, especially the shower which smelt a little like a fish tank. Great breakfast buffet although the serving staff and serving chefs could have been a bit friend…
