Pros:

Las vistas

Cons:

El hotel en relación calidad precio es bastante mala, me pareció una exageración el coste de las habitaciones para lo mal que están las instalaciones. Las piscinas tenían el agua bastante turbias, el desayuno escaso, el Internet fatal se desconecta a cada rato, he estado en hoteles de 3 estrellas mejores que este que en teoría es de 5 estrellas, yo no repetiría, y si piensas alojarte en salinas busca mejores opciones ( que hay bastantes, lo que no aparecen en booking ) y sin dudas estarás mas agusto que en este hotel.
