Sitio bien ubicado, personal bueno, baño terrible, habitación normalita...lugar con luces y sombras
Pros:

La ubicación es espectacular, el personal muy atentos y amables.

Cons:

La habitación...bueno pues antigua, lo que no tiene mayor importancia pues allí no vas por la habitación, sino por el paisaje, pero la ducha, terrible...el agua no salía caliente, como mucho templada, pero no caliente, teniendo en cuenta que nos hizo frío, y allí hace humedad, es bastante desagradable. Otro detalle a tener en cuenta es la cortina de la ducha, de tipo tetilla plástica corredera, que se te pega al cuerpo, porque la ducha no es especialmente espaciosa, es otro detalle que resta muchísimo a un hotel que está en un enclave privilegiado.

Da la sensación que es un hotel pensado para guiris, por el tipo de habitación, los horarios (a las 8 cierra cocina), el desayuno buffet, muy reutilizado de un día a otro, y se notaba en la escasa bollería que no estaba tierna y la chacina de paquete...

A pesar de todo es un sitio con esas sombras, pero con luces también, la ubicación es muy buena, en plena playa, el personal es muy amable.
