Fantastisch
Pros:

Alles was goed rolstoel toegankelijk binnen het hotel, geen drempels en de slaapkamer was rolstoel toegankelijk

Cons:

Enige ding was dat je bij het zwembad nergens met je rolstoel goed bij de bedjes kon komen omdat er daar hoge drempels zaten

Deilig strandhotell
Pros:

Nydelig beliggenhet, deilig rom med stor balkong.
Alt helt supert, god chiringuita med sjømat like nede på stranden

Cons:

Vi ble litt lurt i resepsjonen da vi skulle ta taxi til flyplassen, de sa ca 5 minutter å vente på taxi, det tok over 30 minutter, noe som gjorde at vi fikk dårlig tid på flyplassen. Det viste seg at de brukte en taxi den dagen som dro avsted med en gruppe før oss, og samme taxi kom tilbake for å hente oss. Tips, bestill taxi selv i appen
