A estadia em geral foi boa, tirando o cheiro a esgotos ao entrar no quarto.
Pros:

Tudo em geral, com a excepção de em algumas horas do dia ao chegar ao quarto após o almoço e ao fim da tarde ao chegar da praia um cheiro a esgotos no quarto.

Cons:

Foi o terceiro ano que frequentei este hotel e só este ano é que tive esta situação desagradável "ao chegar ao quarto após o almoço e ao fim do dia da praia um cheiro intenso a esgoto no quarto".

Not bad
Pros:

The location was great and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful!

Cons:

The sound proofing of the rooms were terrible - you could hear everything from the hallways. Also very minimal parking in the hotel so street parking was difficult to find.
