In the second and very private garden lies the enticing swimming pool. Pool towels are provided for guests, and drinks or snacks can be served by the pool for hotel residents.

One of the pleasures of a stay at Las Mananitas is the chance to explore the tropical gardens surrounding the hotel.

These gardens are home to a variety of specials of exotic birds and life-size sculptures by Francisco.

It's a surprise to find such a lush and serene landscape so close to the city.
