I originally intended to stay at the Reina Roja hotel in PDC for one week but enjoyed it so much, that I stayed for a whole month. In fact, I have just booked to return again.To review the hotel without giving it an exceptional rating would be difficult to do. Everything from the moment you arrive and see the famously award winning design of the hotel, to the amazing reception staff (Citlali, Dianna, Enrique and Fabian) you are greeted immediately with a smile and fast and efficient check in. I have not come across many hotels that greet you with your name each morning and a smile, like this one from the reception staff.Nothing appears to be a problem for them, as they are informative, helpful and deliver an exceptional service, especially Citlali who simply works 24/7.The chef Juan for the morning breakfast is always on hand to help you and cooks fresh produce each day. Again, an excellent service.And then of course there is the bar service…..What can I say, the Pedro and Mirian team are one of the best I have found and I travel globally and always stay at 5 star resorts, albeit this is a 4 star hotel but in my opinion, with a 5 star service.I came from the Sandos 5 star resort in Playacar and can say without a shadow of a doubt, that the service you will receive here is no different than any 5 star resort anywhere. Go ahead, put any of the staff I have mentioned here to the test and you will not be disappointed.The rooms are spacious, cleaned daily, with up-to-date amenities such as flat screen TV, toiletries and clean towels. The rooftop pool provides a relaxing atmosphere with sunbeds in the shallow end and a short splash pool. Accepted that you cannot swim in it, but it provides an alternative relaxing area and in any event, you have free daily access to the Martina beach club, if you wish to go to a new pool and splash in the sea, all at 44th street.If I can sum this hotel up, it is simply, an exceptional, clean, safety conscious, hotel with exceptional service delivery on all levels.I cannot honestly suggest anything to improve at the hotel, even the out of tune piano in the reception area is quirky and even if I did, I know that if I were to suggest a problem or an improvement, the staff would be immediately on hand to address anything.Value for money is certainly a key consideration here and the location, being right on 5th Avenue is perfect and safe.A definite recommendation to stay here and if you have any problems, just ask the staff who will be more than pleased to help you, I guarantee.Brian
