Pros:

Cerca de la playa, bonita vista al mar y buen desayuno incluido.

Cons:

El jacuzzi nunca funcionó a pesar de que pedí lo encendiera para que fluyera el agua. Las bebidas del bar son un poco costosas para la calidad que ofrecen.

Unas vistas preciosas del mar, bella piscina y jacuzzi
Pros:

Las vistas son magnificas, las habitaciones amplias y comodas con minibar, su piscina infinita y la ubicacion de su jacuzzi inigualable. Tiene un buen camino que baja a la playa, el personal amable. Un hotel Pet Friendly <3

Cons:

Nada muy relevante, en el desayuno a veces tardan mucho en servir, y no siempre el restaurant tiene todas las opciones del menu, recomiendo poner mas decoracion a las amplias habitaciones.

El Quemaito Nice stay.
Pros:

The localization, cleanness, room.

Cons:

The breakfast was very poor. No ham, cheese, yogurts, few fruits and only industrial juices, for that cost should have more.

Leuk en ontspannen, onvergetelijke plek!
Pros:

Het uitzicht, het bed, vriendelijkheid van het personeel. Algehele vibe.

Cons:

Er zijn wat gedateerde gedeeltes zoals de receptie en de onverharde weg naar het hotel, maar dat heeft in zekere zin ook wel weer iets charmants. Het complex ligt precies aan de kust wat resulteert in sneller onderhoud. Het mooie uitzicht compenseert alles. De kamer was overigens nieuw.

Excellent, professional and well run. Nice food and bonus on-site parking
Pros:

Location overlooking the ocean, clean and spacious room. Excellent restaurant with very tasty food! Staff spoke good English and were very helpful.

Packed breakfast provided when we went out on an early morning birding excursion. This is an important service, especially for birders.

Cons:

It was perfect. We wish we could have stayed for an extra two nights, but unsurprisingly the hotel was full.
