Excelente atención e instalaciones!!!!
Pros:

Desde que llegamos nos atendieron amablemente y en todo momento nos preguntaron si nos encontrábamos bien con todo en nuestra habitación. Excelente atención y servicio.

Cons:

Que no manejen agua embotellada, entiendo que ese servicio ya no lo manejan en ningun hotel en el pais, pero si es agotador tener que ir a buscar agua cuando ya estas comodo.
