Service
9.3
Staff repeatedly described as very friendly and helpful; several guests praised the personnel and noted good service despite other issues.

Es un lugar mágico.
Pros:

La ubicación es perfecta, un lugar muy seguro, atención es maravillosa también. Volveremos siempre, se volvió nuestro lugar de descanso.

Cons:

Una ducha cómoda para cuando se sale del mar y poder ducharse bien para el regreso a San José ( nosotras nos quedamos a disfrutar más horas del lugar, aunque ya habíamos entregado la habitación) cosa que nos encantó.

Cons:

This is a room next to the road- you get all the noise. The beach area is on the other side of the road- they didn't have any rooms on that side, which was more quiet and off the road. The main gate to the beach is accessed with a card- which didn't work, so we have to climb over the 2-meter fence as there was noone that heard us to let us back into the premises. Breakfast was the usual but very limited.

Pros:

Sales del hotel directo a la playa. Las zonas comunes, piscina y restaurante muy bonitas y a pie de playa. Sólo con la playa tan bonita ya merecería la pena la estancia. Nos dieron una habitación mejor que la que habíamos elegido ya que están en obras

Cons:

Nuestra habitación estaba fuera del complejo al otro lado de la carretera y hay que subir más de 100 escaleras y una rampa lo cual hace que sea preferible escoger una habitación en la zona de la playa aunque no tengan vistas al mar.
