The food, to my great surprise, was the best I’ve had at a resort in many months. The pool service was solid, albeit not as impressive as at the other Rosewoods.

Food: This is the area in which this resort truly excels. The breakfasts in the main restaurant “1826” are just sensationally good – locally sourced ingredients of the highest quality, applied to quintessential Mexican dishes, such that the chicken enchiladas were the best I have ever tasted. We requested a dinner on our terrace one night, and the chef went out of his way to tailor two separate menus: one for me paired with 6 dairy-free courses for Ms. Groombridge, including a crème brule that required them to experiment with many different dairy substitutes in order to find one that would produce acceptable flavor. The most successful of all the public areas of the resort is the rooftop tapas bar Luna, which has the best sunset views in town, looking out over the entire hillside on which the historic centre stretches, with the unapologetically pink Parroquia church gloriously astride the ridge a kilometer or so away. The service in the restaurants is the best we encountered in the resort, everything you could want and expect from top restaurants worldwide.
great details as always. and pics! ^

i wonder if tower suite can upgrade to rosewood suite.
and what the min lease will be for 2-4BR residences. (29 on siteplan)

pool service - rosewood vs FS and aman ?
