La struttura è davvero eccellente, bella e in ottima posizione.
Una colazione tra le migliori, c’è di tutto e di più e soprattutto prodotti di qualità
La piscina super e anke le sdraio insomma una vacanza eccellente 😍

Cons:

Nonostante io abbia prenotato una “Superior” mi hanno assegnato una camera si spaziosa,ma sul lato dell’hotel più lontano k potevano darmi, sopra le pattumiere dell’hotel e i macchinari 😳 nn vi dico k rumore 😣 e quante zanzare.. (allego foto) un peccato veramente… nn si possono considerare camere superior in fondo al nulla… qus mi ha lasciato scontenta nn so se ritornerò più 🤷🏻‍♀️

Convenient location but keep your expectations low… it’s far from a luxury stay.
Pros:

The location was convenient, right at the beach and close to the airport.

Cons:

The rooms are older and while not necessarily a bad thing, they aren’t sound proofed so instead of a relaxing vacation, I heard everything the Nextdoor neighbors did and said. The thermostat didn’t work. The bathroom was dirty and the shower wouldn’t drain. The bidet leaked and made dripping noises all night. The restaurant was terrible, while the food looked good, the tuna was spoiled and the Argentinian steak was not palatable.

If you can skip it, I would.
Pros:

The mattress was comfortable

Cons:

I would not stay here again. I didn’t like almost anything about it and don’t want to waste more time thinking about it.

Needs must
Pros:

It was available at short notice

Cons:

Decor was odd, generally aged hotel. Air conditioning had to be switched off/on via RCD panel. Bar prices extortionate. Very tired over priced 3 star hotel. Room layout, had to plug the kettle in on the other side of the room. Gave us a room that was already occupied, resulting in the occupants screaming as they thought they were being robbed.
