Only had a couple of pillows, no cover. Shampoo and soap is very low quality. There was some sort of leak at the middle of the room from the roof. It was insanely noisy that I knew but the room was also hidden and it felt like the room of the service.

Not worth it

No toilet seat. That pretty much says it all. Swimming pool looked slimy and was quite dirty. I did see it being cleaned the next day but was still water I wouldnt want to swim in.

It is a nice place with good attention from your staff, they were very kind to warn us that next door there is a night music venue, but other than that the facilities are very good. The pool is an area of ​​opportunity and if there was food it would be a great option

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.
