Relaxed and nice
Pros:

The location was great the awesome customer service since you get there

Cons:

My only complaint was during the breakfast time even tho all tables have announcements to not have speakers on or loud volume..several people were using their devices on speaker and video calls and non of the workers approached them to remind them that it wasn’t allowed ..I think business have the right to callout someone in those type of situations for the comfort of everyone there otherwise everything was perfect.

Pros:

El restaurante es muy bueno y la atención del personal es muy buena.

Cons:

Se fue la luz en múltiples ocasiones durante la noche y hacía calor y me parece algo costoso para las amenidades que ofrece. Sería bueno para el hotel dejar muy explícito que no se realizan actividades dentro de hotel, que toca buscarlas fuera y los precios que ofrecen por las actividades son altos para el mercado.

Piscina e natura
Pros:

Mi è piaciuto tantissimo il design e gli arredi della camera. Si dorme bene e la piscina è aperta 24/24. Qualche zanzara. Si può avere la colazione in camera

Cons:

Non mi è piaciuto per niente il trattamento che ho ricevuto dalla ragazza alla reception. Ogni richiesta viene fatta pesare, mi ha negato persino della semplice frutta dopo le 9 di sera perché “la cucina è chiusa, c’è solo il bar” quindi la frutta di decorazione si può dare.
Il servizio di lavanderia costa 25 dollari.
La struttura è lontana da tutto e non hanno nemmeno il numero di un motoconcho.
