Muito mau
Pros:

O hotel está com muitas zonas velhas, por falta de manutenção. Sem condições para se chamar de hotel .A localização não é má!!!

Cons:

De uma maneira geral deviam remodelar o hotel , valem-se de estar numa zona mais ou menos perto da praia e cobram um valor super exagerado, eu só aqui fiquei porque foi uma decisão de última hora.
