Absolutely a disaster of a hotel.
I can't believe this is a Banyan Tree property. Our checkin and checkout process took over a half hour. We are Virtuoso clients and the the reservations manager had not marked this in the reservation and since she didn't answer her phone, it took forever to resolve. At checkout, the bill was completely wrong and this also took forever to resolve. The desk looked like a hurricane had hit it - papers everywhere - staff was frazzled and inept. Told us "pretend you don't see this." Couldn't figure out how to bill us for an iced tea from the mini bar because it wasn't on the price list - wasted another 10 minutes at checkout until, totally upset, we finally just handed them a random amount of cash for the iced tea and left. Not an exclusive property at all. Large tour groups are constantly wandering through and taking photos. COULD NOT USE ROOFTOP, POOL OR GARDEN BECAUSE OF WEDDING AND EVENTS. All the hotel wants to do is make as much cash cash as possible without regards to providing service. Keep in mind they are attached to another venue across the street - it seems like weddings are their cash cow. Restaurant takes forever to serve food. If you want exclusivity, stay at the Cartesiano instead. No apologies ever issued for the problems. We had a super stressful time, this hotel ruined our time in Puebla.
