Lamentable
Pros:

Todo mal excepto la ubicación

Cons:

Lamentable...
Habitaciones descuidadas y sucias. La ventana del baño estaba tapada con una madera, la puerta rota.
No hay nada para guardar equipaje.
La atención podría ser más amable...parecía que nuestra presencia molestase.
En la cena pedimos pescado a la brasa y estaba malo, olía a podrido.
Los desayunos a partir de las 7:30 y no dieron ninguna opción de tomar algo para llevar.

가성비와 친절함 끝판왕
Pros:

숙소도 깨끗하고 바닷가와 멀지 않아 위치도 좋아요. 호텔 규모는 작지만 깨끗하고 잘 관리된 리조트 같은 수영장도 너무 마음에 들었어요. 그리고 무엇보다 원하거나 필요로하는 것들을 직원분들이 다 잘 도와줘서 너무 감사했어요.

Hotel de batalla, habitaciones sin cuidar.
Pros:

El desayuno y la posibilidad de cenar en el hotel.

Cons:

En la habitación no había WiFi, el baño dejaba bastante que desear y se te clavaban los muelles del colchón. Las fotos que se muestran de las habitaciones no tienen nada que ver con la realidad.

Pros:

The restaurant was good. The staff was polite. The beach was beautiful!

Cons:

Room was awful: old, dirty, nasty. They had carpet all over the room and it rained and the window leaked, so the carpet gets all wet all the time and the room is full with nasty smell of dampness. Conditioner works, but too loud to keep it on at night. Awful

Good for backpackers but couples/families can avoid
Pros:

Staff was very helpful and the pool was nice and clean. Food/breakfast was a decent spread.

Cons:

The property is more for backpackers so the facilities were a bit basic. The room is small (has an AC though) and the washroom could have been better.

Beautiful stay
Pros:

We had a really great stay here. It’s just a few minutes’ walk from the beach, and the pool is large, modern, and very well maintained. The outdoor areas are also beautifully kept.
The real highlight, though, was the food. Breakfast was fantastic, and we also had dinner here twice. The meals were delicious and very reasonably priced.
The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always very helpful. They even helped us book a wonderful dolphin-watching experience.

Cons:

The rooms were quite basic and small, with very little natural light, and the bathroom was also rather basic. That said, the accommodation was perfectly sufficient for a short stay of a few days. All of the negative points were more than compensated for by the beautiful outdoor areas, the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, and, above all, the excellent food. Overall, a lovely place to stay, and we would happily come back!

Pros:

Bella piscina (ma con solo due sdraio!), buona colazione.

Cons:

Le camere sono francamente orribili. Vecchie, malmesse, il bagno si allagava, non c’era niente dove mettere i vestiti quindi si stava con la valigia aperta per terra, e poi buia e con un’’incomprensibile moquette per terra. Accoglienza senza sorrisi, senza succo di benvenuto…non ci torneremmo.
