Hotel bonito .
La atención en recepción fue excelente durante toda la estancia. El desayuno variado, rico y bien presentado. Los exteriores impecables, agradables y accesible con maletas. A un paso de la playa y del embarcadero del Río. Internet solo en las zonas comunes, pero justo en nuestro segundo día, instalaban más routers. Las excursiones fueron puntuales y variadas. Una estancia maravillosa.
El único punto negativo lo pondría en la poca intimidad de las habitaciones y se escucha todo de las habitaciones de al lado. Si tienes buenos vecinos, enseguida te das cuenta por qué bajan el tono de voz y ruidos en general.
