Justo lo que se necesitaba pero ojo con los baños
Pros:

Cómodo en precio, mucho comercio cerca, el Mega tiene cargador eléctrico y queda a pocos pasos, dejaron cargar el carro hasta por 3 horas por ser huéspedes del hotel. el desayuno muy rico en la MATAMBRITA, el lugar tenía lo básico pero fue suficiente para lo que se necesitaba

Cons:

La puerta del baño, los llavines no le sirven, así que solo se podía abrir desde adentro, si se cerraba la puerta no había más paso al baño, se reportó pero no dijeron nada, solo sonrieron, aceptando que ya sabían pero que no iban a cambiarlo pronto y la ducha no tiene agua caliente y como fuimos en días de lluvia, si estaba muy fría

Para Dormir
Pros:

La ubicación.

Cons:

El area de piscinas requiere una remodelación uirgente, terrible el hueco lleno de tierra al aldo de la piscina. Las psiscinas con agua clara pero azulejos quebrados y se vce cñaramente moho verde. No dan ganas no de meter los pies. No hay sombra. Esra muy mal.
