Today it operates as a luxury destination wedding hotel with capacity for intimate to mid-sized celebrations.
Xela is one of the best hotels I’ve ever been to! The lobby is stunning and has a beautiful view of the beach. From the moment we arrived the staff was kind and attentive. Emily made our trip especially amazing! She was so kind and helpful with anything we needed! The free breakfast in the morning is delicious and filling! The new sushi restaurant was delicious as well. We are coming back to this hotel again.
