Pros:

Continua ser um excelente lugar para fazer férias, bons quartos, boa comida, ótima piscina.. Qualidade na decoração, espaços de entretenimento um hotel para voltar muito em breve..

Cons:

Nesse momento nada de grave a mencionar, apenas um lapso em não ter frigobar nos quartos (mas pelo que fui informado, já estão a resolver esse problema)

De resto, nada a dizer
