Muy bien por el tiempo y un hotel que tendrían que degradar a 3 estrellas.
Pros:

El solario para tomar el sol.

Cons:

Desayunos con muchas cosas pero de muy baja calidad.
Me encontré una cucaracha en el baño y en un hotel de cuatro estrellas es inadmisible.
La campa donde aparcas y te cobran 15 euros al día parece un patatal, sin asfaltar sin cubierta y con baches.
Hotel con un mantenimiento muy básico (cosas viejas y defectuosas) para ser de cuatro estrellas..

Enjoyable because of staff and location.
Pros:

Location. Staff

Cons:

Poor entertainment which finished early. Lack of atmosphere by day such as no music. Catered mostly to the elderly and not younger couples we usually stay in the hotel but this holiday we ended up having to go out for entertainment purposes

Muy buena
Pros:

Todo en general, la verdad es que estaba muy bien

Cons:

La única pega que tiene es el baño, ya que la encimera del lavabo es de madera y estaba un poco estropeada y el plato de ducha derramaba mucho agua, la cristalera era muy corta y salpicaba muchísimo fuera. Además, creo que uno de los grifos de la ducha estaba roto y no funcionaba.
