Très agréable
Pros:

Le personnel est très agréable et l'hôtel est très propre et très confortable avec un joli jardin.
Le petit déjeuner est très bien.
Le buffet proposé pour les dîners les premiers soirs était très bien également.

Cons:

Le manque de choix et de disponibilité de certains plats dans le menu à la carte (formule 1/2 pension) et le temps d'attente pour dîner après avoir passé commande alors qu'il y avait peu de clients.

Pros:

Cama.

Cons:

Reservamos pensión completa y es un engaño. El precio de las comidas en el hotel vale mucho menos que la pensión completa. Por lo que merece la pena pedir lo que quieras alli. Las bebidas aparte las pagabas. Los servicios son muy lentos.
Se fue la luz de la habitación 4 veces y tuvieron que cambiarnos de habitación. Una de las chicas de recepción se quejaba cuando íbamos a decírselo.
No lo recomiendo y no volveré
