Posizione

Wi Fi debolissimo in camera, prende bene solo al piano 0 receptions...Aria Condizionata non funziona

Heerlijke plaats om nog een keer naar toe te gaan. Ligging is echt perfect.
Pros:

Het was een mooie ruime kamer met een heerlijk balkon

Cons:

Het was niet altijd even schoon. Er lag een pipetje in de badkamer van de vorige mensen en die lag er aan het einde nog steeds. De vloer werd dus niet iedere dag schoongemaakt.

De airco kon je niet van stand veranderen. Hij bleef maar op 22 graden staan.

Não recomendo.
Pros:

Os funcionários foram prestáveis e tentaram resolver os problemas.

Cons:

O hotel está velho, pese embora os quartos tenham algumas renovações. Contudo, o nosso quarto estava muito sujo, com cabelos por todo o lado inclusivamente. Havia muita coisa partida/estragada. O AC tinha bolor, de tal forma, que pedimos de imediato para mudar de quarto. Por não ter sido possível e não existir nenhuma alternativa válida, cancelamos a reserva. No quarto ouvia-se tudo o que passava à volta e na rua, apesar de ser no último piso. PA muito fraco.

I don t recommend
Pros:

Was very close to the beach

Cons:

the maids clean nervously, they slam and make an infernal noise like there's a war going on, they never changed the linen, only the towels, there's a very bad smell in the bathroom and next to the elevator which is very old there's a room where they keep the linen thrown on the floor. I don't recommend this hotel to anyone, the mattresses at the pool are dirty, everything inside is old, the only advantage is that it's very close to the beach, the staff is very mean, you can hear everything from the neighbors through the walls, the noisiest hotel! run!
