Els llits més comodes
Pros:

L'habitació és gran, els llits són comodíssims i la gent molt amable. Ens van donar aigua i galetes al entrar.

Cons:

Tot i així, 28 euros a la nit al parking per un parking d'exterior del que no es fan responsable em sembla una barbaritat.

Very relaxing.
Pros:

We enjoyed the on site restaurant and bar. The pool had a cabana with couch style comfort. The pool was a comfy temperature. The pool area was very well designed with mature trees and felt like a high end resort. Everyone was very polite and helpful.

Cons:

We didn't really want to leave. So we didn't end up going to the beach.

Pros:

Breakfast was good. The room was good and clean. The people on the desk were very friendly

Cons:

The staff on the dining room expected us to pay an extra tip since we were a group of 15 people, If we knew in advance we would split to smaller groups
