Séjour en famille dans un magnifique hôtel de Cartagene
Pros:

Séjour parfait : emplacement au cœur du centre historique près de la mer, chambres très propres et agréables, une jolie piscine dont nous avons bien profité, plusieurs endroits pour lire au calme, une équipe au service et un des meilleurs petit-déjeûners que l’on ait eu pendant notre voyage. Nous avions 4 chambres 7 personnes.

Cons:

Rien
