Una buena experiencia que puede mejorar
Pros:

La ubicación, las instalaciones, la atención del personal, las piscinas, la salida a la playa.

Cons:

Considero q se puede mejorar el menú del buffet, era muy similar diariamente. Los baños debe tener un mantenimiento. El de nuestra habitación tocó pedir que lo destaparan por que la ducha estaba tapada. La habitación tenía humedad y los
Muebles ya están un poco viejitos.

Pros:

Buena comida. Es un lugar cómodo, con buena atención. Me gustó que tuvieran sus propias instalaciones de playa para los huéspedes. Precios razonables en comidas y bebidas. A pesar de no ser muy aficionado al fútbol, me gustó toda la parafernalia que se montó para poder ver los partidos del mundial.

Cons:

Que el mismo hotel no ofreciera planes de actividades externas de forma más activa. Eso se lo delegan, por decirlo de alguna manera, a operadores externos que las promocionan en la playa. Estos planes que te ofrecen tienen costos ocultos. Por ejemplo, te damos el almuerzo, pero se nos olvidó decirte que no te damos la bebida. O te llevamos a tal lugar, donde puedes hacer careteo, pero cuando estás allá te dicen "ah, eso tiene un costo adicional". Esto es una costumbre generalizada en el Caribe colombiano y de verdad es muy desagradable. Por eso uno quisiera un operador turístico más confiable y respaldado directamente por el hotel.

Pros:

La cercanía a la playa. Los restaurantes de la playa son muy buenos. Hubo pantalla gigante para los partidos del mundial. El personal es muy amable. La comida es buena. La playa es muy tranquila, nadie te molesta. Volvería todas las veces.

Cons:

Las camas son un poco blandas pero es cuestión de gustos, igual eran cómodas y las habitaciones en perfectas condiciones. El restaurante de desayunar se queda pequeño a ciertas horas, como todos, pero la comida y las instalaciones son muy buenas.
