Gorgeous spot!!

Beautiful hotel in a gorgeous spot!! Our GPS took us on an inaccessible gated road—and the reception staff talked us thru how to navigate to the hotel (despite our language barrier) and stayed late to accommodate us. Highly recommend! (And breakfast was great!)

Standarden er knap så god mere

Standarden var generelt faldet. Ved indcheckningen virkede det ikke som om, de havde styr på hvem vi var. Har boet her før. Ingen velkomst glas. Var på halvpension. Havde reserveret bord udenfor, måtte være insisterende for at få pladsen. Fik aldrig vores danskvand. Forretten hed rejesalat, der var to rejer oven på en kartoffelsalat, suppen var ok, måtte bede 3 gange om at få et brød mere, kødet i næste ret var så tyndt og tørt Max et par millimeter tyk, næsten uspiseligt, MEN et spansk par ved siden af fik fyldt med rejer oven på kartoffelsalaten, kødet var 1 cm tykt, det var nemt at skære, kunne vi se - de fik en helt anden service! Fik at vide, at restauranten lukkede kl 22, men det spanske par startede med at bestille kl 21:45 uden problemer. Det synes vi ikke er ok! Alle gæster burde have ens forplejning. Baren lukkede meget tidligt ingen meddeles om det.

The clerk who checked us in could not have done a better job. Our GPS had led us astray and we called for advice. He totally took charge and used a phone app to get us there. We couldn’t have been happier than we were with his efforts- much thanks!

No es lo que esperábamos

Pedimos una habitacion superior y ... era un tubo, alargada y estrecha con el baño al fondo. Dos alcayatas para colgar las toallas y absolutamente nada para poner el jabón, gel o champú en la ducha. En el suelo que lo arrastraba el agua.... El lavabo de roca de diferentes colores no daba sensacion de limpieza. Buscabamos otra cosa, tal vez hay habitaciones mejores que esta. Por otro lado, las piscinas son pequeñas y no hay una separacion como dicen de adultos. La cafereia carisima para lo que ofrece. La playa de esa zona además está llena de rocas y con la marea baja no puedes bañarte. Vi a una persona resbalarse. Muy incomodo.
