Hotel cozy em cima da praia
Pros:

A localização super perto da praia e a área da piscina muito agradável.

Buen hotel. Tranquilidad absoluta
Pros:

Todo muy cuidado . no se veía nada roto o deteriorado
Las instalaciones estupendas
El personal muy amable. El día que nos fuimos nos dimos cuenta que nos habíamos dejado una bolsa con ropa en la habitación. Volvimos y lo dijimos en recepción y como la habitación ya la habían hecho no estaba allí, pero se pusieron todas las limpiadoras a buscar entre la basura de las habitaciones hasta que la encontraron

Cons:

Hubo un día que no nos hicieron la habitación a pesar de que habíamos puesto el cartel de que hicieran la habitación. Llegamos tarde después de estar todo el día fuera y nos encontramos con la sorpresa cuando llegamos, Como era tarde, nos quedamos con la habitación sin hacer.
Eso no puede pasar en un hotel de esta categoría y con lo que cuesta.
