Cómodo y relajante
Pros:

La ubicación muy estratégica , la limpieza muy buena

Cons:

Que no haya televisión en las habitaciones y el menú del desayuno siempre fue el mismo los tres días , siento que pueden variar por ejemplo no todos los días ofrecer lo mismo , podrían cambiar en vez de huevos revueltos cambiar por huevitos fritos , incluía plátanos maduros, cambiar el salchichón por mini salchichas . Solo es una crítica constructiva

Pros:

La cercanía a todas las playas

Cons:

Mucha realidad a lo que muestran las fotos, sin embargo aunque decía desayuno incluido, siempre fue el mismo. No hubo variedad 👎🏼
Otra cosa que no me gustó, es que la piscina el primer día olía bastante mal! Logramos observar que en sus paredes había mucho musgo, lo que al desprenderse expedía un mal olor. El resto estuvo bien.
