Pros:

El trato del personal, la cercania a la playa y la tranquilidad. El desayuno correcto, el restaurante poco variado pero muy bueno el plato que probamos. Ofrecian cafe y te gratuito todo el dia y el servicio de limpieza bueno Tambien destacar que se preocupan de llevarte del embarcadero al hotel y te ofrecen tours sin ser agobiantes.

Cons:

En generl nada, calidad precio correcto, instalaciones basicas pero acordes a su precio.

Pros:

Alles

Cons:

Absoluut geen 2 sterrenhotel als je het mij vraagt, ziet er totaal anders uit dan op de foto's zeer verouderd en schimmel tegen de muur van kamer. De weg er naar toe zand. Eerder hostel dan een hotel.

Don’t leave valuable things in your room if you stay here cause they get “lost”
Pros:

Positive things.
The price.
Some staff members are nice.

Cons:

My jacket was stolen from my room, we noticed it was missing right when we got on the boat, we called and they said they didn’t find anything.
Then they said that they could check the cameras and when I asked them to do so all they said was “we trust our staff” even when I told them that I had two witnesses with me who saw the jacket in the room the morning we left.
I hope it comes handy to whoever took it since it was a $200 rain jacket and I know it’s a rainy area.
