Foi bom e regressaria
Pros:

Fomos bem recebidos
Tudo correu bem

Cons:

Embora, na sua maioria os funcionários fossem muito simpáticos e disponíveis, houve dois mais jovens ,que fugiam à regra nalgumas vezes que me aproximei do bar … ignoravam a pessoa ao balcão ou ficavam a olhar um para o outro até que algum se decidisse a atender , visivelmente contrafeito … são uma jovem e um jovem e não exponho os nomes na esperança de que,
sinceramente, evoluam e melhorem no atendimento

Pros:

Lo mejor la ubicación del hotel, fantástica, la avenida de la puerta principal del hotel súper tranquila y el acceso a la playa y paseo marítimo y restaurantes por la puerta de la piscina genial !!. El trato del personal del hotel muy amables. Mi habitación con vistas al mar!! La piscina y el césped!!. La playa fantástica!!

Cons:

El desayuno es bastante pobre y poco variado. Relación calidad-precio no muy bien. Las habitaciones deberían ser reformadas, mi lavabo, bañera y azulejos estaban estallados y los accesorios del baño muy viejos y malos y el techo del cuarto baño muy mal. La bañera debería tener mampara no cortina por higiene y la presión de la ducha muy floja.El bidé y la cisterna del water muy bien. El aire acondicionado del hotel fabuloso La decoración de las habitaciones muy antiguas y es una gran pena porque reformándola y también reformando cuarto baño ganaría muchísimo el hotel, quedaría un gran hotel y no tendría envidia a ninguno de más estrellas. Estas cosas ya hace años que lo están diciendo los usuarios pero el hotel no hace caso. Teniendo en cuenta todo el precio me parece bastante caro

Great hotel would book again
Pros:

Great hotel, friendly staff and a brilliant location right next to the beach and plenty of restaurants. Basic room but clean and a great shower. Breakfast was lovely and food at the bar was also great. Could do with a few more sunbeds around the pool.

Podia ter sido melhor.
Pros:

Boa localização e boa piscina com os seus arranjos exteriores.

Cons:

Quartos precisam de modernização, sobretudo a nível das casas de banho. Num dos quartos, o porta rolos estava partido e o lavatório estava entupido. Apesar de avisarmos na recepção, nada fizeram. Não existem copos para escova e pasta de dentes. Pequeno almoço abaixo das expectativas.
