Excelente lugar para descansar
Pros:

Es primera linea de playa y aunque no es playa propiamente privada, no la usa nadie más que el personal del hotel por lo cual es tranquila. Es un ambiente tranquilo apenas como para descansar. El restaurante es delicioso y el personal de atención en restaurante y bares es muy amable.

Cons:

Las camas son algo angostas para dormir en pareja (al menos en la habitación que me tocó).

Excelente ubicación, buen ambiente, ideal para familias.
Pros:

Excelente ubicación del hotel, con salida a la playa, espacios bien distribuidos puedes ir de la píscina a la playa o al restaurante, todo relativamente cerca.

Cons:

Talvez mejorar un poco e incluir otro tipo de actividades en la noche, una de las actividades programadas fue un bingo. Pienso que aunque es un hotel familiar, se puede pensar en algunos shows musicales o de baile etc. NO se si están incluidos para otro tipo de fechas o días pero en mi estancia no hubo.

Puede mejorar
Pros:

Gran hotel. Bien ubicado

Cons:

Actitud de algunos empleados
El Barman de playa fue bastante desatento. Increíble que le ponga pero a un vaso de hielo. Un detalle tonto que daña la experiencia de un huésped.
