Craig Nauman Customer Feedback | Washington, United States | Hi Carlos – I’ve been meaning to let you know how great Mexico City and the Hotel Habita were on my recent visit. Both were fantastic and I’m totally wanting to return as I hardly got to make a dent in the city…so BIG and so much to see/do. The hotel was perfect…good location, very cool inside, and very helpful/nice staff. I would totally recommend them again. Thanks again for setting me up well!! Hope all is well and you’re nicely settled in to the City now. Take care… Craig.

Troy Masters from Gay City News Customer Feedback

Filed In: Customer Feedback, in the News, Press

Troy Masters Customer Feedback | New York City, United States | Troy Masters is the Founder and Publisher of Gay City News. My trip to Argentina, Uruguay and the Rio de la Plata region, thanks to Carlos Melia’s outstanding organizational skills, went off without a hitch. We trusted him with everything and relied on him to make sure we saw Buenos Aires as it is meant to be eperienced; he hit all the right notes and we were never disappointed. It was like a well-executed Tango.

Colleen G. Customer Feedback • ( New York, United States ) Oh my goodness, we had a fantastic time! We enjoyed everything! I apologize, I wanted to email you to thank you but I came back to so much work. We were so very, very happy! Thank you so very much! I really loved the Design CE Hotel and the staff was great. Just so you know the front of the hotel is a bit loud from street noise, I think in the future I would stay in the back but the place is fantastic and I loved their staff! Feliz Navidad! You should come to my restaurant for New Years Eve, it’s great! xo, Colleen

Punta del Este is GORGEOUS (and we did end up upgrading the room to what you originally suggested. Ocean view with balcony. (I want to move into this room permanently!) :-) . Back to Buenos Aires tonight. Then on to New York Friday night. I don’t want it to end so soon….. :-) Moises

Craig N. Customer Feedback


Filed In: Buenos Aires, Colonia del Sacramento, Customer Feedback, Iguazu Falls

Craig N. Customer Feedback • ( Washington, United States ) Hi Carlos – I want to thank you for helping organize an amazing trip to Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, and Uruguay! Everything was perfect – people were on time, very friendly, accommodating, and helpful…everything was just as it should be. I also want to say the Casa de Limoneros as one of the highlights of the trip, particularly since it was on Thanksgiving. The property was so picturesque – we went for bike rides, runs, and enjoyed the pool. Sergio and Mario was quite a friendly pair too. I can’t say enough about the ladies at the front desk of the Design CE Hotel – they were so nice, friendly and helpful…so glad we met them and you recommended the hotel. Craig

Jeffrey L. Customer Feedback ( New York, United States ) • Carlos, We had a great time on our trip – thanks for everything. Loved the hotels, and the amount of time in both places was perfect. No llegamos a lo de tango, but I think that’s because my boyfriend is ashamed of my dancing skills. Abrazos, Jeff
