Excelente precio-calidad
Pros:

Me gustó, porque tenía una excelente ubicación. Cerca de las playas y del centro. Siempre estaban preocupados de que tuvieras datos de dónde ir, playas, restaurantes entre otros.

Cons:

Creo que se debe mejorar la atención del personal (solo unos) en el horario del desayuno, poder estar más atentos a cuando uno llega y atender con buena disposición. Había una chica que era muy atenta, sin embargo un día nos encontramos con otras que no estaban muy pendientes de los pasajeros. Pero fue lo mínimo.

Pros:

Desayuno muy pobre y cuando se terminaba lo que había no lo reponían. La comida caliente, siempre estaba fría. Las mesas que habían sido ocupadas, no las limpiaban

Cons:

El desayuno. La iluminación de la habitación. No tiene ascensor, yo estaba con la rodilla lesionada y me ubicaron en primer piso por escalera

Pros:

Cafe da manhã e piscina. Localização ótima.

Cons:

Os quartos são muito próximos um do outro, dá pra ouvir tudo, o que faz acordar muito durante a noite. As portas rangendo muito. Algumas coisas simples que poderiam ser feitas para melhorar e não são, como manutenção das instalações. O banheiro estava com o suporte de toalha quebrado, e no Box nao tinha nenhum suporte para apoiar as coisas como shampoo, sabonete, etc. A porta do banheiro nao tem nenhum apoio para permanecer aberta, e fica rangendo muito. A limpeza pode melhorar muito, principalmente no banheiro.

Pros:

Pousada com instalações novas, em uma rua calma, situada muito perto da praia dos Ossos. Dá para andar até a Rua das Pedras tranquilamente. Os quartos são simples, mas confortáveis. Funcionários bastante simpáticos e solícitos.

Cons:

A organização do café da manhã precisa melhorar, pois achei confuso nos dias que estivemos hospedados.
Seria bom colocar um suporte no box do banheiro para os itens de higiene (não havia nos 2 quartos).

Pros:

Localização. Perto de tudo.

Cons:

O nosso quarto tinha poeira e mofo (estávamos com. nossos filhos de 07 anos e 01 ano). Tivemos que antecipar o check out e procurar outro hotel.
