Drama
Cons:

Als je beloofd dat je kan annuleren moet je niet daarna je terug trekken. Allemaal smoesjes over mails die gestuurd zouden zijn e.d. Gewoon een drama locatie met een niet integere hotel eigenaar. Kamers zien er zeker niet uit zoals op foto’s. Het is een versleten accomodatie. Zeker niet naartoe gaan.

Pros:

Lo mejor su piscina con vistas al valle. Personal atento y gran desayuno buffet. El pueblo cuenta con 3 restaurantes además del restaurante del hotel, y se pueden hacer rutas cortas desde alli.

Cons:

El tamaño de la habitación de 4 personas es un poco escaso. Sería importante contar con servicio de lavandería.

Pros:

Gostei de tudo, especialmente da simpatia do pessoal do alojamento. Pequeno almoço agradável.

Cons:

Fica só uma sugestão e espero que não levem a mal. As almofadas e colchões poderiam ser de qualidade superior.

Una estancia increíble
Pros:

Si necesitas unos días de desconexión este es tu hotel, rodeado de naturaleza y calma. Las habitaciones son limpias, amplias y cómodas. La piscina y el jacuzzi son una maravilla y el personal es muy atento y agradable.
Destacar el exquisito desayuno casero todas las mañanas. Estamos deseando volver.

Cons:

No haber podido estar más días!
