Love Dreamkapture, it is like a oasis in the city with palm trees, exotic birds, fish pond, turtles, and more. There is shopping and restaurants within short walking distance and a very nice breakfast is included with the room. Downtown is okay to visit, but I wouldn't want to stay there. I have stayed here numerous times, and I highly recommend DK.

Malecón is a historical pillar of our town, since the city was first founded this area has played a pivotal role in the city’s development. Because of this the Malecón 2000 project was created and it is our pleasure to be able to share the colors of our Malecón and within it the colors of the river.
