Déçu
Pros:

Le petit déjeuner est varié et bon.
L’hôtel est en face de la plage et est très bien situé pour assister au spectacle de drones
Les chambres sont propres et les lits confortables.
Le personnel ne parle pas très bien anglais mais utilise le téléphone pour traduire. La dame à la réception était gentille.

Cons:

La cafetière ne fonctionnait pas et, malgré la demande de réparation, aucune réaction de leur part.
Les tasses n’ont pas été lavées en trois jours, les lits n’ont pas été faits.
Les cartes ont été bloquées à 7 h 30, nous empêchant de rentrer dans notre chambre, alors qu’ils avaient nos informations de carte de crédit.
L’air était malsain quand on se réveillait, et il était difficile d’ouvrir la fenêtre vu le bruit extérieur.

Súper vistas desde la habitación
Pros:

Las vistas desde la habitación son brutales. Un buen baño y buenos amenities

Cons:

Por ponerle una pega, sería un puntazo que el cristal del baño llegará hasta la altura de la bañera para que al darse un baño se pudiera ver el skyline.
