Hotel bien/habitación no tan bien
Pros:

La comida y el personal, excepcional

Cons:

Reservamos una doble superior, y nos dieron una planta baja con vistas a una tubería que según nos dijeron en recepción son las que se dan cuando haces la reserva por booking

Volveremos sin duda
Pros:

La variedad del buffet, la habitación con vistas al mar preciosa, los animadores muy simpáticos y hacen muy bien su trabajo, la amabilidad de las personas de recepción, el spa y que te cambian las toallas cuando lo desees, que te hacen un pícnic para poder irte a la playa, el parking para el coche gratis.

Cons:

El restaurante temático mexicano un poco flojo en cuanto a variedad y calidad, el suelo de la piscina un poco pegajoso en algunas zonas, que para todo incluido no tengas la caja fuerte en el precio (3€ x dia)

Nous ne retournons pas dans cet hôtel. Expérience décevante.
Pros:

Chambre tranquille. Possibilité de faire de belles balades.

Cons:

La vaisselle sale et le restaurant très bruyant (cantine). La nourriture très moyenne. Le personnel du restaurant distant et peu sympathique. Des odeurs peu agréables et tenaces au restaurant et dans les environs. Peu de variété dans les buffets, des fruits en boîtes …

Pros:

La atención del personal

Cons:

Los horarios de las barras no son acordes al momento música por la noche, siguen poniendo música, pero la barra está cerrada. Las piscinas también terminan demasiado pronto a mí parecer.
Otra cosa a destacar es que el horario del buffet, estás dentro de horario pero están recogiendo todo y quitando comida antes de que termines.
