Extraordinariamente hermoso
Pros:

El trato del personal es excelente, sumamente amables, cordiales y con una actitud de ayuda increíble

Cons:

En realidad del alojamiento me encantó todo, lo único es el mar pues es un poco bravo, pero eso no es culpa de nadie; en realidad solo el hecho de estar en ese hotel y escuchar el ruido del mar…. Es increíblemente hermoso y lleno de paz

Pros:

Das Zimmer war hübsch eingerichtet und sauber. Das Personal war freundlich und zuvorkommend. Als es ein Problem mit der Zimmerkarte gab, kümmerte man sich direkt um eine Lösung. Das Essen im dazugehörenden Restaurant war sehr lecker. Von der Anlage aus gelangt man direkt an einen wunderschönen großen Strand.

Cons:

Die Strandliegen sahen etwas mitgenommen aus und könnten erneuert werden.

Es un espacio grande y con buenas instalaciones. Está relativamente cerca de restaurantes y plazas comerciales. Los atardeceres son hermosos!

Podrían poner más esmero en el cuidado de la vegetación. Se ve en algunos puntos descuidadas las plantas.

Pros:

I am satisfied with customer service and the personnel in the restaurant and the reception

The beach house was nice, comfortable and well equipped

Cons:

The hotel common areas seem to be abandoned, there is no maintenance over the gardens, pool area, hotel/beach area

It felt like the place is not carefully taken care of which to be honest do not leave me with the idea of going back

Pros:

Zimmer, Restaurant und Lobby wie beschrieben.Gute Lage.

Cons:

Der Gesamteindruck erinnerte eher an einen Lost Place, Anlage in die Jahre gekommen, Außenanlagen ungepflegt. Die bei booking.com angegebene qm- Zahl orientiert sich eher an den Außenabmessungen der Villa.
