Lo bonito es la piscina.

Los lugares comunes del hotel son muy lindos y acogedores. Como la piscina, restaurante.Pero colocaron todo el presupuesto del hotel allí. - Las habitaciones no son muy privadas. Se escucha todo!! Los pasos de escalera, las puertas… Pensaba que iban a entrar personas en la madrugada y por eso no descansé nada la primera noche. Con respecto al aire acondicionado: NO HAY en ninguna parte del hotel, en ninguna habitación. Y venden la habitación como sí lo incluyera. Con respecto a la comida: buena.
