Todo excelenet

El hotel super limpio y las habitaciones con camas super comodas. Lo unico fue que una de las empleadas encargadas del desayuno nos falto el respeto diciendo que para nosotros no habia desayuno y nos dejo de ultimos para servirnos el desayuno. Parecia tener algo en contra de nosotros. Los empleados deberian ser mas respetuosos con los huespedes. Si la señora tenia un problema no debio pagarlo con nosotros

Me gustó que queda cerca a la playa, pero los alrededores son feos, casi nos roban, la entrada del hotel es lindo igual que la recepción, pero el segundo piso tiene mugre en el piso, tiene algunas sabanas manchadas, no estaba tan limpio la ducha desde adentro al igual que el mueble donde se colocan las cosas en el baño. Bueno el desayuno
