Buena, solo un impace
Pros:

Las instalaciones o lo tal

Cons:

La atención en recepción de una de las mujeres, no saludaba, contestaba súper mal, muy grosera.

Y de otro lado, fumigaron en el último día de mi estancia y no previeron el flujo de gente, me enfermé, manifesté mi situación y es la hora que no me han dado respuesta.

La habitación inicial que me dieron, tenía muy mal olor, a humedad, el precio es alto para recibirlo, me cambiaron a otra habitación temporalmente y luego a otra; el estar cambiando cuando el tiempo es tan corto no es funcional

Esperava mais.
Pros:

A estrutura era ótima, os restaurantes também. Café da manhã excelente, buffets também.

Cons:

Tivemos um problema com a reserva do meu cunhado e ficamos mais de uma hora na recepção para resolver, tarde da noite, por um erro do hotel. Recepcionista não soube conduzir. Além disso, pelas fotos, achei que o quarto seria mais legal, mas por dentro era mais simples. Por fim, a praia em si onde fica o hotel não é tão linda.
