Casa Santo Domingo Museums, Antigua

I’m giving this place a 4 star because next to our door entrance was a creepy Christian statue. It’s was super weird in then middle of the night. Also I didn’t like the creepy baby statues. I get it’s a museum but it doesn’t have the first thing I see when I walk in or walk out the door. The open air spa was very nice! Very romantic. I would highly recommend the experience. Although I couldn’t seem to find a unisex steam or dry Sauna. One comment is that when you leave to use the spa through the back Terrance there is no way to lock your doors! So anyone can just walk in. In addition there was no handles to pull the door open. The restaurant staff was very nice. But just know you will be paying New York like prices. Compared food in to the area.

Room was old, and beds were like a rock. Saving grace of the bathroom was the water pressure, which was spectacular - like being power washed. The grounds are confusing, like a maze. We arrived late and got lost, stopped to ask workers who were hanging around and they ignored us and pretended like we were not there…. Very awkward. Lighting is bad in many places and the ground is uneven, including random small steps - BEWARE of these as I did not see the small step in the veritable darkness (at 10 am mind you) and literally tumbled onto the floor. My husband exclaimed and helped me up and not one worker (of which there are many) noticed? Including the people we had just been speaking to moments before. Employees at reception were helpful and offered to put in a room service order for us, which arrived swiftly and was delicious. I didn’t try the breakfast but it all looked spectacular. Gardens were beautiful and peaceful. All in all, wouldn’t stay here again.
