Pros:

Las instalaciones comunes están muy bien, tiene acceso a la playa muy cerca y zona de piscina y cocina.

Cons:

En la habitación no se podía regular la temperatura del agua de la ducha, salía templada tirando a fría. Aunque hay lámparas se encienden todas a la vez junto con las de techo y es algo incómodo.

No fue lo que esperábamos
Pros:

La ubicación, la piscina, las áreas comunes estaban bonitas.

Cons:

La habitación que nos tocó (24) tenía un problema en la pared por fuera tenía dos motores de aire acondicionado que hacían vibrar la pared y generan un sonido muy molesto en toda la habitación, a pesar de reportarlo no hubo solución.
Las camas eran poco cómodas, la limpieza es de día por medio y considerando que es un hotel cerca de la playa esto convierte en un problema, la cocina en común está poco equipada considerando que todos los clientes usan el mismo espacio. El tubo del lavatorio estaba en mal estado y no tienen secadora de cabello por lo que tuvimos que insistir en que nos facilitarán una.
