Parfait
Pros:

Un séjour parfait du début à la fin !
L’emplacement du Castel del Sol est tout simplement idéal pour profiter pleinement du séjour. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la praticité du parking sur place, le cadre agréable et rafraîchissant de la piscine, ainsi que la qualité du service au petit-déjeuner. Un grand merci à l’ensemble du personnel pour son accueil chaleureux et son professionnalisme tout au long de notre séjour. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !

Cons:

Dommage que le ménage de notre chambre n'ait pas été effectué la veille de notre départ, alors que nous restions jusqu'au lendemain. C'est le seul petit point noir d'un séjour par ailleurs très réussi.

Bien pero con puntos a mejorar
Pros:

El personal de la limpieza muy agradable y las habitaciones comodas y poco ruidosas, al menos en la segunda quincena de Septiembre

Cons:

El tema de la restauracion.. la comida templada a fría. Habia gente bebiendo alcohol dentro de la puscina. Piscina con poca profundidad -maximo 1,40 mts-.

Pros:

Lo que me gustó más fue la ubicación. La playa justo enfrente. Las habitaciones amplias y la piscina bien aunque el horario de uso es reducido.

Cons:

Solo un par de comentarios. La comida era variada pero a veces estaba fría. Al menos podrían mantenerla caliente durante todo el servicio. En cuanto al cuarto de baño deberían de actualizarlo; bañera deteriorada, con moho en las juntas, la flor de la ducha anticuada y la papelera sin tapa. Las almohadas algo blandas.

Estancia agradable
Pros:

El personal del hotel es un 10, y la ubicación muy buena

Cons:

El todo incluido creo que debería mejorar en bastantes aspectos, la comida deja bastante que desear para ser un 4 estrellas, además que todas las bebidas sean refill
