Estacia ideal! Desconexión
Pros:

Nos encanto como está decorado, la distribución de las habitaciones, la cama super amplia y la amabilidad de los trabajadores. Comimos en su restaurante y fue todo un auténtico acierto, repetiremos!

Cons:

Lo que nos falto fue mas iluminación en la habitación

Pros:

Location was great, lovely and peaceful, but just a 10 minute easy walk into San José.
The rooms are big ans spacious, simply decorated keeping in style with the property, and fantastic air-conditioning system, so great sleep. The pool is big and well maintained, room for everyone, lovely to come back to after a day exploring.

Cons:

Nothing really, if had to say anything, would be that the room terraces could do with a small clothes airer to hang wet swimwear as at the moment the only place is on the chairs, but apart from that, nothing to moan about

Pros:

Muy limpio y cómodo.

Cons:

Me gustó todo, solo recomendaría poner alguna sombrilla en la zona de la piscina ya que no hay opción de sombra y en Almería en verano sería recomendable.
