La Fonda
Pros:

The restaurant & sun roof are excellent for breakfast & the views are stunning.

Cons:

Room 208 is a corridor room & a bit dated -: it needs a walk in shower.

Mit ein wenig mehr Aufwand wäre viel erreicht, das Haus hat top Potenzial.
Pros:

Es ist alles etwas in die Jahre gekommen, das Frühstück war okay aber es ist alles etwas eng. Die Lage war für uns perfekt, raus aus dem Rummel der Küste. Perfekte Abende in der Gastronomie des Pueblo.

Cons:

Es würde gebaut im Hotel (Zimmer) ohne Information vorher. Dementsprechend schmutzig auf den Gängen. Die Mitarbeiter waren present aber keine nachfrage ob der Aufenthalt gefallen hat nach dem Check-out. Keine Lifte fürs Gepäck, keine Hilfe beim Gepäck.

Kommer meget gerne igen.
Pros:

Dejligt roligt hotel, hyggeligt og romantisk. Påersonalet er meget søde, rare og venlige

Cons:

Vi havde luksus værelse men alligevel hang den ene skabs låge (hængslet var i stykker) og Safeboksen var ikke klar ved ankomst... Dette havde dog ingen betydning for et fantastisk ophold som vi gerne gør igen

Skøn beliggenhed i bjergene, perfekt hvis man har bil og ikke er gangbesværet, stort værelse og lækre senge.
Pros:

Rolig beliggenhed, stort værelse, lækker tagterrasse, sødt personale i baren.
Fantastiske senge.
Lækker lille spa.

Cons:

Rum 107 var meget mørkt, kun lille vindue til fællesareal så det kunne ikke åbnes eller lumske lys ind, der var en del støj fra elevator og rindende vand fra værelser over. Men vi skulle bare sove der så det gik.
Parkering koster ekstra.
Der var ikke drikkevand på værelset, i spaen eller til morgenmaden (kun vandhanevand)
Pool ikke rengjort.
Savnede lidt informationer ved check ind.

Pros:

Très bon restaurant, accès gratuit au spa, la vue. Le petit déjeuner est correct. La majeure partie du personnel est accueillant et serviable sauf une dame de l'acceuil qui a été agressive verbalement parce qu'à priori nous n'aurions pas utiliser la sonnette alors que la porte était fermée, alors que cela a bien été fait. De plus, elle nous a laissé attendre, la porte a été ouverte par des clientes qui sortaient.

Cons:

A 20 minutes en voiture pour accéder à la marina.
