Excelente estancia en hotel de playa
Pros:

En nuestra opinión, lo mejor fue que tienen acceso a la playa y es una playa muy bonita. Las instalaciones se ven muy naturales y acorde a un hotel de playa. Las dos piscinas muy agradables, una mucho más grande que la otra.

Cons:

El desayuno estuvo bien, pero controlan mucho las porciones. Cada vez debemos pedir y a menudo no eran muy amables o no respondían mis preguntas.

Pros:

La ubicación es inmejorable, la comida deliciosa y las actividades me gustan mucho

Cons:

En el comedor mencionan que el desayuno del niño no se incluye y ,"que no se puede compartir el desayuno"; lo que no tiene sentido ya que en la reserva tanto los adultos como los niños de 7 años cuestan lo mismo

Desorden
Pros:

Ubicasion ,

Cons:

Hicimos una reservación, para 4 personas cuando llegamos ala habitación solo tenía, una cama, me toco pasar la noche en un sofá, se le aviso al personal de recepción sobre la novedad, al ver mi inconformidad, ubicaron una camas en otra habitación , nos avisaron para cambiarnos, pero eran la 1 de la mañana , pero mis hijos ya estaban dormidos. Me parace que antes de que llegen las personas que se van a hospedar deberían organizar las habitaciones revisar que todo esté como debe ser
