Acceptable Stay with Some Issues
nice buildingsant infestationno iron
The grounds and buildings were nice and the location near the sea was good.
The room had some issues. There were ants. I also needed an iron but the hotel said they don't have them due to safety reasons.

I appreciated the location. It is amazing. the hotel offers a private boat to the beach, a nice touch. the kids club staff, especially sónia, were amazing. it was great they had such dedicated people.
when you arrive, they insist you stand in line to collect your room number. the woman on the desk ignores you too. the dining room is horrible with lots of noise.
