Pros:

This property exceeded my expectations and I wish I could have stay longer - next time, I will.
Everything from check in to check out was great and the room was large, and had everything needed. I didn't check out the rest of the hotel as I wasn't feeling too well. Why is this place stated as a 2 star hotel when some 4 stars hotels are much worse ?

Cons:

Can't fault it.

Pros:

Nos gustó todo. Está a 10 min andando del muelle, que conecta todo. Sus habitaciones son modernas, con todo tipo de comodidades. Y sobre todo la atención de Jonas. Durante los 5 días que hemos estado la atención que nos ha brindado ha sido excepcional, adelantándose a cualquiera de nuestras necesidades. Es un crack, de esas personas profesionales que se les nota que les gusta hacer de manera excelente su trabajo. Repetiríamos sin duda.

Cons:

Por decir algo, por la mañana habia mucha luz en las habitaciones,
