Pros:

great view and location. staff were helpful and friendly. easy access to beach. nice pool and outdoor seating. welcome drink was nice!

Cons:

air conditioning didn't go below 19 degrees. outdated (however they mentioned they were closing for some renovations). was limited at the buffet due to dietary preferences, so that didn't add value for me.

Buena experiencia, pero no acorde al precio
Pros:

Sobre todo la ubicación, cerca de la playa y el personal muy amable

Cons:

Hemos estado muy cómodos durante la estancia y la ubicación del hotel es muy buena. El personal ha sido amable y el ambiente agradable. Como aspectos a mejorar, la habitación y el cuarto de baño nos parecieron pequeños. Además, las instalaciones se notan algo anticuadas y todavía conserva moqueta en algunas zonas, lo que da sensación de necesitar una renovación. En nuestra opinión, todo ello hace que el precio no esté del todo justificado. Aun así, hemos disfrutado de la estancia.

Estava à espera de melhor experiência
Pros:

Localização, espaço exterior

Cons:

Quarto muito pequeno e degradado, sem espaço para colocar malas e muito limitado para circular. Camas muito moles e desconfortáveis - Necessita de remodelação urgente. Para a cadeia de hotéis que é deviam primar pelo conforto. Preço muito acima da qualidade e conforto que entregam.

Pros:

Localização,
A oferta de um bolo de aniversário de uma garrafa de champanhe.

Cons:

Falta de animação principalmente,
Piscina interior devia ter um controlo na utilização, visto que há pessoas que vão e não respeitam as regras de utilização.

Decepcionante
Pros:

Localização fantástica, refeições boas, pessoas muito simpáticas

Cons:

Os quartos não têm qualidade de 4 estrelas, o chão está a levantar, as camas não são confortáveis, a divisória de pano para a casa de banho estava suja. O papel de parede de ambos os elevadores estava a saltar, a piscina interior estava um caos... azulejos a saltar, luzes da piscina tiradas e com cabos de fora e crianças a jogar a bola dentro da piscina sem que ninguém dissesse nada. Muito mau
