The check-in in this hotel has been terrible and still is. Too long waiting time. But the staff is very friendly. Also we could hardly notice any refurbisment except that cooling in the rooms was broken and the windows could not be opened like earlier. Very painful night, hardly any sleeping.

Muy buena estancia
Muy buena estancia. El desayuno muy completo y la habitación moderna y cómoda. El area de alberca es bueno, el único inconveniente es que el agua estaba helada, creo que podrian subir la temperatura unos cuantos grados para hacer la visita mas placentera.
