Amazing place to stay

Pros: The hotel is amazing.The staff,the facilities,the location,the room,the view,the swimming pool.A very nice place to get rest

Cons: At the beakfast the chef mixed the ingredients to our omelets at the breakfast. Me and my wife have asked for omelets with different ingredients.He mixed all the ingredients and he made 2 omelets with a variety of imgredients but not what we have asked for. The extra charges at the final amount to pay are too much!!!

Volveremos a la zona

Pros: La ubicación y las vistas, tanto a primera hora de la mañana como al atardecer sentarse en la terraza de la habitación y disfrutar de las vistas. El personal del hotel amabilísimo, tanto en recepción como en el restaurante para los desayunos

Cons: La habitación acusa el paso del tiempo, aire acondicionado muy antiguo, ruidoso y poco efectivo para combatir el calor del sol todo el día sobre los ventanales de la habitación (sin persianas). Extractor del baño ruidoso (no parece que haga nada más)
