Pros:

Quarto, instalações e localização boa.

Cons:

Café da manhã poderia ser melhor. Não emprestaram taças para a acomodação, apenas copos plásticos ou de papel e não emprestaram saca-rolhas para garrafas de vinho, tivemos que levar na recepção para abrir.

Pros:

La ubicación y el desayuno. La piscina también es excelente! La atención del personal fue muy buena!

Cons:

No le hacen mantenimiento al baño de la habitación, falta dónde poner el shampoo en la ducha y no hay una baranda para sostenerte mientras te bañas. Las habitaciones no tienen buena iluminación y el baño tampoco, se hace difícil peinarse y maquillarse, por la falta de luz donde están los espejos.
