I first stayed at Quinta in 2007. On three or four subsequent visits to Antigua, I tried to get a room and it was always fully booked. This year, I tried for May, got shut out again, and switched to June so that I could stay here. So, you can see that I am quite fond of this place.||After 18 years, all the good things are still in place: the beautiful gardens, the serene pool, the breakfasts, the peaceful ambience. And there are improvements. There are now "garden rooms" that are away from the main area of the hotel. They are large with king beds and well worth the $115 per night. Internet service reaches these rooms, but I did find myself occasionally using my phone as a hot spot to get better service.||Because the grounds are so spread out, you will at times feel like you have the place to yourself. Sit back and listen to the birds. If you'd like a treat, pick up the phone and they'll bring you tostadas and a drink.||Do be aware that Quinta is on the southeast end of town, about a 15 minute walk to the park. In 2007, my family always covered that by foot. This year, with Uber working efficiently within Antigua, we replaced about 25% of our walks with Uber rides. Each ride arrived in less than 5 minutes.
