Pros:

Obwohl es eine Hotelanlage ist, füllten wir uns wie mitten in der Natur. - Die Anlage liegt etwas abseits von der Stadt direkt am Strand. Dadurch kann Mannes viel Ruhe wunderbar entspannen!

Cons:

Es fehlte öfters das Brot. Der morgendliche Obsttwller könnte reichlicher sein. Ich dachte immer in Kolumbien wächst das Obst reichlich. Gleich "um die Ecke" sind riesige Bananenplantagen? Aber diese Kritik bitte nicht überbewerten!
