Déçue pour une hôtel de ce niveau
Pros:

Qualité des buffets
Chambre insonorisée

Cons:

Situation de la chambre très décevante (politique de prix incompréhensible car même prix que vous soyez bien ou mal situés dans l’hôtel), nous avions réservé une chambre swimup, celle qui a été affecté donnait sur des travaux et un centre commercial, et était exposé à l’ombre. Après plusieurs réclamations nous avons pu bénéficier pour les 3 derniers jours d’une autre chambre côté sud, vue piscine.
Ménage dans la chambre très tardif (après 13h)
Hôtel usine, on ne s’en était pas rendu compte sur le site.
Pas d’expérience client
Très déçu vu le prix

Muy agradable y relajante
Pros:

Muy bonito y bien ubicado.

Cons:

Cuando llegue la habitación impecable pero el mantenimiento diario de la habitación me pareció algo pobre ... un día solo me hicieron la cama y cambio de toallas , ni barrer ni pasar un paño a los baños ..., ateo día a las 6:30 pm todavía no habían hecho la habitación ..., por lo demás todo muy bien

Un buen sitio para un merecido descanso
Pros:

Nos encantó la tranquilidad del hotel y la comida del restaurante Magical. Es muy positivo que se pueda cambiar con facilidad la cena por el almuerzo, porque la comida es de buena calidad y abundante en el servicio de mediodía. La piscina de la habitación y la común están climatizadas, por lo que es un gran punto a favor. Los camareros de restaurante, camareras de piso y el señor de mantenimiento de 10.

Cons:

Había descoordinación entre el personal del restaurante para el tema de pago de bebidas, si querías consumir por carta, etc. También con el servicio de limpieza de habitaciones: si no quieres que entren a las 9:30 de la mañana cuando estás durmiendo y pones el cartelito en la puerta, ya te pasan a hacer el servicio de habitación al día siguiente, no debería ser así y debería pasar más tarde. Falta de flexibilidad del personal en general a peticiones concretas.

Riojanos por las islas
Pros:

Tanto el hotel como el trato del personal es de 10. Tengo que destacar el trato por Samuel el jefe de la zona del champs que fue increíble. La preocupación de Jefferson por preocuparse en todo momento por nuestro bienestar fue de 10. Y el servicio en restaurantes fue increíble recalcando el trato tan guay por Laia y Samu. Un fuerte abrazo nos vemos en nada.

Cons:

No hay quejas
