Lo que más me gustó fue la variedad en el buffet para el desayuno, echo en falta zumo de naranja natural por ejemplo.También esta muy bien el miniclub para peques.

Cons:

La carne en la cena de la braseria estaba dura y muy quemada.Los entrantes sin embargo, fabulosos

Maravilhosa, relaxante!
Pros:

O hotel é muito bonito, embora grande é muito organizado, sossegado e acolhedor!
Tem várias cores de pulseiras consoante o que pretendemos! Top 🔝
A piscina das crianças, pelo que observamos é espetacular, tipo aquashow!
As piscinas são ótimas e com água muito quentinha, a praia é muito próxima, com um lindo pôr do sol!
Com várias atividades, hidrodance, jogos aquáticos, festa da espuma com cocktai, entre outras …
Passamos uns dias muito agradáveis em família, o melhor hotel em Espanha que estivemos.

Cons:

A limpeza do quarto, nomeadamente da casa de banho devia ser melhorada!

Con niños pequeños: disfrute y tranquilidad
Pros:

La comodidad para estar con niños pequeños. La zona exterior que da al mar, la piscina para niños, las actividades con las monitoras…

El personal muy amable y servicial a pesar de la cantidad de trabajo que tienen. La habitación estaba nueva y la han mantenido muy limpia todos los días.

La playa está muy bien, tiene baños y socorrita.

Queremos volver el año que viene

Cons:

Quizás eché de menos alguna comida para los niños tipo croquetas, nuggets, etc. por decir algo vaya.

Iba con un poco de recelo al leer comentarios acerca del buffet, de las colas que se forman, de la calidad de la comida….tampoco es para tanto…es verdad que se llena todo el salón en cuestión de minutos pero siempre encontramos sitio, siempre encontramos trona y siempre había comida así que tranquilidad!

Tampoco hay demasiados servicios por la zona: tiendas, bares, etc. hay que coger coche para ir a algún pueblo cercano

Bien, pero probaremos otra cosa la próxima vez
Pros:

La animación es maravillosa. Siempre hay algo de día y de noche. Muy buena ubicación también a playas, parques, chiringuitos, supermercados. El miniclub un 10. Siempre hay hamacas disponibles en la piscina.

Cons:

La comida es terriblemente mala. Siempre lo mismo, sin sabor… seco… lo siento, me duele dejar malas experiencias, pero si valoras un mínimo la gastronomía, este no es tu sitio. Los camareros están saturadisimos. Largas colas para tortitas o cosas a la plancha -que es lo más decente-. Siempre hay carne y pescado recién hecho pero muy a la batalla. Los trabajadores maravillosos, pero no dan abasto los pobres. Nuestra hija de 3 años decía continuamente “esto no sabe a nada”. Si te gustan los hot dogs, la pizza y esperar colas, es tu sitio. Insisto que los trabajadores súper amables y dispuestos pero hay demasiada gente.
