Pésima atención, publicidad falsa, poca empatía con el cliente
Pros:

Me gustó que el alojamiento estuviera muy cerca del parque de diversiones y del mar, pero después de haber hecho una reservación y haber pagado en línea por una suite con vista al mar, cuando llegamos al hotel, nos dicen que ese tipo de suites no existen y que fue un error de Booking a haber anunciado algo que no tienen, por lo que nos ofrecieron dos habitaciones separadas y sin vista al mar, así que arruinaron nuestras vacaciones y nuestra estadía, tuvimos que movernos a otro hotel, cabe resaltar que ya era de noche e íbamos con varios niños, así que fue una muy mala experiencia, la que nos hicieron pasar, no dudo que el hotel sea un buen hotel y sea bonito porque las fotos así lo reflejan, y por esa razón decidimos quedarnos para disfrutarlo, pero lastimosamente no resultó por esa razón. No lo recomendaría porque están dando una información falsa

Cons:

A pesar de qué el alojamiento y Booking.com tuvieron la responsabilidad por anunciar información falsa sobre el Hotel y hacernos creer que tenían habitaciones con vista al Mar disponibles. El Hotel no hizo nada por ofrecernos algo similar a lo que ya habíamos pagado y reservado en la aplicación y sólo optaron por hacer la cancelación de nuestra reserva, sin importarles la hora, ni la cantidad de gente que íbamos muy poca falta de empatía
