📍
Pros:

Magnificent view,
The place is very beautiful
The staff kind and friendly.
Landscape and pool area well take care.
Convenient location for people who like to walk.

Cons:

Pity to neglect this beautiful place,
With few eauros in each room they can upgrade their hotel to much more attractive interior,
The management saves pennies and losses cash could be made,
Small correction in bathrooms and rooms required, doesn't this place have a handyman to repair cracked walls and repair the douche ?
Filling the gaps in the wall in bathroom?
Why in a double room there is only one chair available.
Is it a big effort to put a picture on the wall?
A small carpet next to the bed?
Why only one person to serve the busy dinning room guests in breakfast time, we waited too long for refills of scrambled eggs and sunny side up eggs so we have it up,
No small trash bin in dinning area,
How expensive is to put a trash bin?
Why saving pennies to ruin the clients experience, your savings causing you more damage than earnings..
Hope the management will change his savings policies.

Pros:

El lugar es hermoso, la vista genial, el desayuno estaba muy bien.
La habitación muy bien.

Cons:

Solo había tv de cable, se hecha de menos un smartTV para ver lo que uno quiera.
Las luces de cabecero no se podían apagar y el secador de pelo no funciona adecuadamente.
Son pequeños detalles que hacen una diferencia.

Mal aislamiento de la cristalera de la puerta que daba al balcón .Hacía mucho frío en la habitación.
