Likes: Lots of space to stretch out. Great value for the money spent. Dislikes: No dehumidifier in room, it stays wet inside. Allowing adults to carry drinks and food into pools. (The pool bar is fine, but when I see a plate of food on the outside of the pool edge and a pina coloda spill into the water by a drunk woman, it made us leave the pool that day.) Please enforce no food and drinks in the pool.

Acredito que fui com as expectativas muito altas , hotel é bom mais não é incrível. Uma coisa que me pegou demais é que não tem água mineral e tem bebedouro p você ir encher entendo a questão da economia mais a água é muito ruim pessima. Alguns funcionários são muito educados é solicitos mas tem alguns que simplesmente nem bom dia dar e péssimos de informações não são todos .
