What could be improved: the timeline given was not correct, after arriving before 8pm at the theater, there is some time spent waiting, then a quick tango class, then dinner is served around 8.30pm but the show only starts at 10pm, which means that you are back to your hotel past midnight. Would we have known that we would have chosen a different evening as we had to get up early the following morning. We found the food and the wine were ok but not great Other than that…”
