Iprof linked to my thread. We really enjoyed OSJ and look forward to returning. The El Convento has a very nice evening reception around 6pm. Afterwards, we set out to dinner. There are a lot of good restaurants within walking distance.

The pool area is small but lovely. It is on one of the upper floors and has nice views out over the bay. We took beer and wine up there and watched the cruise ships depart. (there may be in honor bar off the pool area)

Don't miss the manager's reception. It is notches above the typical complimentary offerings. There was a large selections of reds and whites (at least 6 of each) and a very nice cheese board. All offerings were refreshed regularly. The terrace overlooks a park and a catherdal.

The hotel has lovely outdoor areas. We ate breakfast in the courtyard twice, very good but slow. Just mentioning the pace if you need to get to the airport early.
