    Food for GF people top notch .

    As a celiac disease sufferer attention to diet is paramount. The staff at this hotel were above and beyond. Capitan Moises was there every breakfast and lunch to ensure complete control. Chef Oscar cooked my meals with care and ingenuity had some awesome GF meals from him. Lucia the manager at Don Gus was likewise so attentive and caring of my requests. Servers, Carina, Jesus and to be honest all the meal staff were phenomenal. If you are on a GF diet you cannot go wrong at GRS lighthouse. Great location - the hotel is a little tired in places but it is spotless and the staff make up for any shortfalls
