The site is perfectly suited to the needs of a salsa congress featuring a massive wooden dance floor for parties — and ideal for dancing. The tiered seating at the arena allows great views for the nightly shows no matter where one is seated. The hotel is a five minute to the venue — where all the workshops, parties and shows take place.
