Meson de Maria

Beautiful hotel - lovely internal courtyards and rooftop terrace. Staff were great!

Its a very lovely hotel, full of character, antique furniture, greenery and flowers, and very nice staff. There is a nice fountain. We loved the character and vibe of the place. The big drawback for us was the airport transport. I had mistakenly assumed that they had their own driver. Instead we paid $50 ($25 each) for a shuttle system that spent 45 minutes driving around from hotel to hotel picking other people up, bouncing and jostling around the bumpy Antigua roads. We should have just ordered an uber, which would have cost the same, and gone straight to the airport much more quickly. As it was we barely got there in time to make our flight- we got there two hours after we had been picked up. Given that an uber for the two of us would have cost the same as that shuttle, which had 8 or so people in it, they are obviously just making a lot of money with that system, at the expense of guests. So warning- don't take their shuttle.

Clean room, friendly staff, great hotel overall. However the wifi wasn't great.

The staff treated me terribly. They had a poor attitude and had no respect for their guest. I will never return, and will tell others to avoid the hotel. I was a guest there for many years, but I will never return.

Hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Antigua, close to the Arch, Parque Central and just around the corner from Starbucks. Hotel is clean, spacious and the staff is wonderful. This is our hotel in Antigua during our frequent visits to Antigua.
