Para no volver.
Pros:

La piscina

Cons:

Mi mujer informó en Recepción del hotel que había una fuga en el lavabo del baño de la habitación, de forma que encharca el suelo. De hecho, tuvimos que usar las toallas para secar el suelo.
Tras regresar de cenar, no se había pasado nadie a revisar ni arreglar el problema. Al hablar con Recepción, me informan que, hasta el día siguiente, no podrán tomar medida alguna. Pido toallas limpias (y secas, claro) y me hacen bajar a recepción a por ellas.

Al día siguiente, a medio día, tras regresar de una excursión, observo que se han llevado las toallas húmedas del suelo y han repuesto las toallas, pero el problema sigue ahí. Al pasar por Recepción para interesarme por cuándo se solucionará el problema, la recepcionista coge el talkie y me dice que, justo en ese momento, iba a llamar al técnico de mantenimiento.
A las 17:00h, al regresar a la habituación, vemos que el problema sigue ahí; y como única solución, han colocado una toalla debajo del lavabo a modo de “empapador”.

Así mismo, al observar con más detenimiento el suelo de madera de la habitación, el cual pensaba que estaba simplemente levantado por una humedad anterior, se encuentra húmedo y en muy mal estado.

Además de lo anterior, añadiría la altivez de dos de las recepcionistas; así como la información incompleta y/o incorrecta que ofrecen para llegar a la playa.

Varios ascensores averiados al mismo tiempo.

Cons:

Café da manhã pode melhorar, muito simples para o nível do hotel. Na hora do checkin foi uma loucura, tinha uma recepcionista mal educada que nem atendia direito, foi preciso chegar outra recepcionista pra nos atender melhor.
