El hotel supera las expectativas, las habitaciones están muy cuidadas. El jacuzzi funciona a la perfección y aunque está en el exterior el área es privada. El internet falla cuando llueve muy fuerte, sin embargo nada grave. El personal es muy atento. Definitivamente volveremos.

El recepcionista William fue magnífico. Muy atento en todo. Cuando una de las excursiones que quiera hacer fue cancelada por la compañía turística él se encargó de buscarme esa excursión con otra compañía. Personas como él hacen más fácil y agradable los viajes.
