Cons:

La limpieza un poco desastre, el mantenimiento de la habitaciones como que los grifos pierdan agua por todos los lados y no salga la suficiente presión ni para ducharte es deseable

A estadia no hotel foi bastante agradável e vou recomendar a amigos.
Pros:

A localização era muito boa pela proximidade à praia e a outros equipamentos. O pequeno almoço também era bom pois tinha diversidade e qualidade dos produtos. Para mim está bem assim.

Cons:

Poderia ter na varanda um cordel ou estendal para secar pequenas peças de roupa como, por exemplo, biquinis e fatos de banho bem como as toalhas de praia.

Pros:

Close to everything.

Cons:

There is a casino hotel right in front that blocks the view of the beach but location is great. There is parking available at hotel but it is first come first serve basis. 3 spots in front and about 8-10 on the side. You have to get up early and see if any is available and ask front desk to park there. If not you have to find street parking it’s about 17 euros a day. (Very hard to find street parking)
