The majestic, restored, Republican-era facade doesn’t carry over to the interiors, but there is a great rooftop terrace, small pool and ground-floor bar-restaurant (mains S25 to S45). The rooms are smallish but have fresh paint jobs and good bedding.
The restaurant is one of the best in town – try the fabulous pescado a lo macho (catch of the day topped with a creamy shellfish sauce with chili and garlic).
