The property is lovely and well maintained. I am not quite sure how it is a 5 star property. There is no in room coffee/tea. It is provided by the elevator from 6-10. Not ideal. There is no complementary bottled water. There is limited room service. The staff was very nice.

Highly recommend booking an event with el PRADO! The planning staff were thorough and ensured we had everything we needed to make the event successful. We really enjoyed having both indoor and outdoor space accessible for our conference attendees. The food at the event was absolutely delicious and there was plenty to go around. Event staff were attentive and kind. Thank you el PRADO for supporting local nonprofits!
