I have no complaints about this hotel or staff but looking back it was not really what I needed for
Pros:

Breakfast was not included in my opinion, it carried an additional charge

Cons:

The hotel was fine however personally it was not a hotel for a two week vacation, more suitable for short stays/city break

Par apport au prix de la nuit qui est assez cher, la qualité proposé n’est pas au rendez-vous.
Pros:

Il est proche de la mer

Cons:

Les chambres sont très mal insonorisés ont entend les gens parler, les chaises frotter le sol, les portes claquer.

Les matelas sont horribles on a eu mal toute la semaine au dos.

Le petit déjeuner 0/10 pour 200€ le séjour c’est une honte, il est préparé la veille au soir les fruits légumes sont pas frais je n’ai jamais vu ça de ma vie un buffet avec autant peu de choix au prix du séjour c’est scandaleux.

Pros:

Nulla

Cons:

Tutto, soprattutto entrare in hotel a mezzanotte di sabato a Marbella e non avere la possibilità di farsi una doccia...perchè non c'era l'acqua in tutte le camere. Le stanze erano molto sporche, la doccia era rotta, all'interno delle stanze vi era un odorw terribile di fumo.
