correcto ... pero reserva engañosa
Hotel en condiciones correctas pero con falencias básicas para un alojamiento costero. El desayuno es definitivamente malo y no cuenta con restaurante ni room service de ningún tipo. La pileta y servicios de bar están en el hotel hermano, a unos 30 metros. Muy poco amigable.

Good value
Comfortable hotel located near the beach and near shops and restaurants. The service was good and you have access to the Pool at the (more luxurious) sister hotel across the street.
