Meer moet dat niet zijn.
Pros:

Rustig hotel, verzorgd ontbijt, fantastisch uitzicht, mooie stranden in de buurt. Lokatie is gegeerd voor huwelijksfeesten maar wij hadden daar relatief weinig last van.

Cons:

Taalvaardigheid van het personeel.

Pros:

Beautiful location of the hotel, a bit isolated from the rest which gives charm to it. Spacious two bedroom room for us as a family of 4, not many people in the hotel overall due to its size. Adorable plant smells everywhere.

Cons:

Food in the restaurant I would rate 3 out of 5. Also we had a very unusual experience of sneakers disappearing from our room. My son came in the shoes but at the end they have just vanished. This story stops me from putting a higher rating for our staying.

Great location and pool.
Pros:

Location and pool

Cons:

Value was not great. Some issues in the room such as arriving with dirty dishes in the dishwasher and broken remotes. For the price I would expect it to be immaculate.

Rooms great but needs a bigger pool!
Pros:

Very well decorated and comfortable. Breakfast fabulous!

Cons:

The size of the pool ( small considero there is no beach near the hotel) and the drive to the hotel ( very narrow and dangerous in my opinion)

Naturaleza y paz
Pros:

El apartamento era precioso, con cocina completa, aunque había poco utensilios. Habitaciones preciosas camas, muy cómodas. Por ponerle una pega el tipo de almohada que usan no era de mi gusto. Y el cuarto de baño me encantó. Tenía bañera y tenía mucha luz natural y todo lo necesario. Muy contentos.
Este complejo está situado justo al borde de una acantilado con acceso a una cala que está bastante bien y también tiene acceso a senderos que llegan a las famosas playas como la de la Marina. Está muy bien. Si quieres disfrutar de la naturaleza de hacer rutas en kayak. Pero no es céntrico. Si quieres tener un viaje haciendo más visitas y rutas en coche quizás necesites otro tipo de alojamiento con otra ubicación

Cons:

Todo el complejo está muy muy cuidado. Lo único es que pasamos mucho tiempo en el spa por comodidad con el niño y quizás necesitaría algún elemento más en la piscina. También estuvimos en el gimnasio y creemos que se usa muy poco porque las máquinas estaban un poco oxidadas.
