MORE THAN A HOLIDAY

park, sports facilities, snack
bars, rental horses,

aquarium and many other
attractions, including a
quaint tea house’ which
serves at least six varieties of
exotic teas. The park. also.
houses “Las Ruinas”, one of
the most clepant restaurants
I've ever seen. Here is haute

modern exterior is buili
around an old sugar mill and
the interior decor is a

combination of rich antiques:

and modern stained gplass,
