The property was not bad for the third world country. However, the staff, even though trying to be polite and attentive, were not professional at all. The breakfasts were the biggest issue that I had. First of all two eggs and a small bun is not sufficient for a grown man. The same thing every morning and other choices (not much different from standard eggs) would be additional charge. I got bored after one week of the same, so I requested a little cheese added to my eggs. And after nine more mornings of eggs with cheese, I found out that the owner was charging me extra $3.00 for that cheese. Come on, you should be happy to add those few shreds of cheese to make my breakfast less boring. Anyway, during check out I found out that $27 was added to my bill for this.
Their way of handling food is disgusting; They do not use gloves or tongs and the hygiene of the lady who prepares food is questionable, to say the least.
Before arriving at the hotel, I requested a pick up at the airport. His price was $45. It seemed steep to me, but I thought it was the standard rate. When I was in Granada, I found out that the going rate was between $30 and $35. There are long line ups of taxis at the airport, and you can easily find one for $35 or less with a little bit of negotiating. So, the La Polvóra owner is just taking advantage of people who are not familiar with going rate and decide to trust him.
