Konumu çok iyi. Fiyat/performans oranı normal, bu kadar az ödeme yaptığınız bir yerden çok fazla bir şey beklememeli
Pros:

Konumu çok iyi. Fiyat/performans oranı normal, bu kadar az ödeme yaptığınız bir yerden çok fazla bir şey beklememelisiniz. Check-in saatinden bir saat önce odaya giriş yapabildim.

Cons:

Oda temiz değildi, bardak konulan tabaklar toz içindeydi. Yatağın etrafında eskiden kalan bir kaç pislik gördüm. Benzer şekilde mikrodalga dolabında da parça parça pislikler yapışmış durumdaydı. Havlular aşırı lekeliydi bu nedenle asla kullanamadım.

Kedilerin odasıyla ve kum kabıyla acile ilgilenmeleri gerekli. Kedilerin odası çok ağır koku içinde, kuma girmek istemeyen kediler kumun dışına kakasını yapmış. Diğer kediler ona basmadan kuma girmeye çalışıyor. Gerçekten hayvansever birilerinin kedilerin malzemelerinin temizliği ile ilgilenmesi gerekli.

Pros:

Burada geçirdiğim 6 gece boyunca kendimi otelde değil, sanki çok sevdiğim bir dostumun evindeymişim gibi hissettim. Çalışan arkadaşlar sadece işlerini yapmıyorlar; ruhlarını, sevgilerini ve nezaketlerini de yaptıkları işe katıyorlar. O kadar yardımsever ve o kadar düzgün insanlar ki, sergiledikleri bu içten misafirperverlik beni gerçekten duygulandırdı. Her şeyden önce böylesine güzel insanlarla tanışmak benim için unutulmaz bir anı oldu. Her birine kalpten teşekkür ediyorum.

Terapia gatuba incluida en el precio / Excelente relación precio calidad
Pros:

Los gatos son la mejor parte de la estadía. Terapia gatuna gratis para los huéspedes, los visité todos los días y me dieron mucho amor. Los Maine coons son muy hambrientos sí, hay que acercarse a los gatos pequeños para darles premios 😂 Todos están muy bien cuidados y alimentados, también presencié la limpieza de la sala de los gatos, se preocupan de barrer y sacar los pelos de las camas y las plataformas a diario.

Sobre la habitación:

La televisión en sí no es smart TV pero tiene un dispositivo anexo que permite conectarse a aplicaciones.
La cama principal era espaciosa, el colchón un poco duro pero me gustan los colchones así.
El aire acondicionado es antiguo pero cumple su función, y la aislación térmica de la habitación es buena, se mantiene fresca por horas después de apagado el aire.
Hay microondas y refrigerador en la habitación.
En sí, no se permite fumar en la habitación pero al llegar nos informaron que se podía fumar en el balcón (cigarrillos).
El lugar está cerca de todo, restaurantes, playa y un 7/11 a menos de 100 metros.
El staff es muy amable, el dueño (?) nos hizo hasta una sesión de fotos con los gatos 🩷✨
Volvería sí o sí.

Cons:

Dejamos el cartel para solicitar limpieza 2 veces y no nos limpiaron la habitación. Quizás había que avisar, pero nos aseguramos de dejarlo bien puesto.
Los colchones de la litera son muy delgados.
El wifi no llega bien a las habitaciones.

Pros:

This place is absolutely wonderful! The value you get for the price is incredible. The rooms are so comfortable, with soft beds and strong, cool air conditioning. On top of that, the view is perfectly clear and stunning. It’s the ideal place for a family getaway, we all slept so well and felt right at home. It truly offers great value for money. Highly recommended!
