Located on the west coast of the island, the hotel’s sky lounge with infinity pool is set to become a travel hotspot for watching the famous San Antonio sunsets, accompanied by live music. Three à la carte restaurants offer guests high quality international and local dishes, and a personalised butler service for every guest will allow for ultimate relaxation.
