Las instalaciones estaban lindas, tenían lo necesario. Solo la zona es ruidosa y muchas veces olía bastante mal ya que había un canal cerca (no está en manos del hotel pero es un poco molesto), todo lo demás estuvo perfecto :)

El hotel es muy sencillo, pero cuenta con lo necesario para pasarla bien, el personal de recepción muy amable, la ubicación muy buena (en la noche la calle se convierte en zona de artesanías y bares), y el costo muy accesible.

La estancia es muy limpia, la alberca aunque pequeña, con temperatura muy agradable. Aunque la playa está a unos minutos no es la playa más limpia ni bonita para estar. Por las noches si hay ruido ya que hay un bar justo a lado, pero también queda cerca de restaurantes.
