Pros:

Tiene una ubicación y unas vistas maravillosas, pero necesita alguna reforma por dentro en las habitaciones. Si bien es cierto que el mobiliario es moderno, las paredes y la madera de las puertas se ven algo viejecitas, entiendo que además de por el paso del tiempo, por la humedad al estar a un paso del mar.
Los empleados son muy amables, especialmente los de la cafetería, donde se cena estupendamente, como en casa. Especial mención a Requena que nos trató de maravilla desde el primer día.

Cons:

Necesita ciertas reformas por dentro.
