Estancia bastante agradable
Pros:

La ubicación está muy bien... muy cerca de las playas y de las zonas comerciales y de ocio.

Cons:

El menú de desayuno y de cena, es mejorable. Un poco escaso, aunque también hay que tener en cuenta las limitaciones de espacio ya que el comedor, no es excesivamente grande. En definitiva, MEJORABLE.

Location is OK. Reception staff ok
Pros:

Breakfast was poor. Ran out of fruit . Toaster really Slow.choices limited. Poor lay out. Had to ask for toilet roll in room and used paper cups cups for water for 3 days Before we had to ask for replacement.
We asked specifically for a room on high floor but said it wasn't available. So our View of sea was Blocked by back of another hotel. Instead we had partial view. Would NOT STAY AGAIN

Cons:

Breakfast, service of room,view we Paid for
