Espectaluras emplazamiento y vistas maravillosas

Pros:

La vista es bellísima y las instalaciones muy lindas

Cons:

Deben mejorar la comunicación, el domingo el restaurante cerró temprano y no nos notificaron antes, adicional debes pedir que limpien la habitación si no se abstienen de entrar para evitar molestias pero tampoco comunican que debes notificar
