Perfecto para descansar!!
Pros:

El equipo humano que trabaja en CA destaca por su calidez humana. La carta del restaurante tiene muchas opciones y así evitas desplazarte para el almuerzo y la cena. El desayuno tipo buffet también tiene muchas opciones de fruta, proteína, bebidas.

El sistema que diseñaron para el cambio de toallas garantiza que siempre tengas disponible una a tu servicio. La salida de plaza y las piscinas facilitan tu plan de descanso. Los viernes y sábados tiene un show de música en vivo en la noche. Este lugar es perfecto si buscas descanso y desconectarte del día a día.

Cons:

Es un lugar para repetir... es tranquilo, cerca al aeropuerto, zona de playa tranquila.

Very good. We would go back again.
Pros:

Everything we expected for what we paid. We stayed Sunday-Wednesday so the hotel was relatively quiet.
Pool & surroundings were excellent. Attentive & friendly staff.
The beach was very nice and apart from Sunday was almost deserted.
Food was as expected. A good variety that would not win any Michelin stars but was perfectly acceptable for a beach resort.

Cons:

Again, considering what we paid for our stay there was nothing that we could complain about.
Other hotels/resorts in the same area were charging double or triple the price for the same stay.

Buen servicio.
Pros:

Las instalaciones buenas.
Playa privada y buena piscina.

Cons:

En el restaurante del hotel nos enfermamos por mala manipulación de los alimentos .(pizza). Tuvimos que llamar a ambulancia para que no atendieran. Por suerte llevábamos seguro médico. Estuvimos en reposo y dieta por 3 días. El hotel no se hizo responsable. Además un día el jugo estaba avinagrado.
