Prima hotel
Pros:

Prima kamer. Douche heeft wat aandacht nodig. Door de ligging dicht bij centrum, alles goed bereikbaar.

Cons:

Locatie was midden in het centrum, geen tot weinig parkeer mogelijkheden. Achter het hotel een padel baan die druk bezocht werd.

Limpio, excelente ubicación, muy buen ratio calidad precio.
Pros:

ubicación limpieza piscina

Cons:

Bar y cafetería muy poco surtidos. El aparcamiento es muy pequeño y me tuve que buscar la vida para aparcar el coche puesto que toda la zona tiene horario limitado. El recepcionista no fue de gran ayuda en este aspecto. AL final tuve que dejar el coche en un parking un poco lejano comprando un abono de tres dias.

The positives outweigh the negatives, we’ll be back for a week soon.
Pros:

Nice location, we stayed in one of the apartments in the hotel. The rooms are nice, however, not soundproof.

Cons:

It’s obvious throughout the property cleaning is not the priority.
