Entrega abaixo do esperado, péssimo custo-benefício
Pros:

Localização apenas.

Cons:

Fiquem em um tal de anexo. Nem fui informado sobre isso. O hotel mesmo nem passei da recepção.
Toalhas péssimas, sem limpeza (diz q a cada 3 dias) banheiro pequeno, chuveiro nao funciona elétrico, várias vezes a água era só pinga pinga.
Cafe da manha fraco...em fim, nao sei se foi pela temporada, mas o valor foi muito alto pela entrega. Justo seria pagar no maximo a metade do q paguei.

Decepcionante!
Pros:

Nao gostamos de nada além da localização

Cons:

Não gostamos da acomodação, pois é totalmente diferente do anúncio. Sabíamos que havia um acesso no hotel, mas não imaginávamos que seria tão inferior. A cama de casal estava quebrada fazendo um buraco no meio da cama causando muito desconforto. Ficamos em um quarto de 3 adultos e recebemos apenas 2 toalhas e somente um cobertor
