Me encantó la cantidad de piscinas disponibles, en distintos espacios y tamaños, el desayuno estuvo delicioso, mi pareja y yo tuvimos un aniversario de lujo, el hotel estaba en perfectas condiciones de limpieza y mantenimiento, nos sorprendieron gratamente con decoración romántica y botella de vino, sin duda volveremos cada que podamos, siempre es una experiencia innolvidable.

Decadente
Pros:

I giardini e le partí comuni, la colazione

Cons:

La spiaggia privata sporca con venditori abusivi, la camera: mancavano le salviette per il viso, aria condizionata malfunzionante, assenza di cuffia per la doccia. Un disastro
