Visite alle balene

La camera aveva un idromassaggio ma non funzionava. Presenza di molte zanzare, ho chiesto se c’era la possibilità di avere un repellente durante la notte ma mi è stato informato che non li avevano. Dovrebbero fare più attenzione al servizio bar. Ho chiesto di pagare la sera prima dato che sarei partito il giorno successivo molto presto e mi era stato detto che avrei trovato qualcuno il giorno dopo e invece alle 23:00 mi sono venuti a bussare in camera per fare il pagamento. Molti camerieri erano molto sorridenti e disponibili. Credo che la struttura ha delle grandi potenzialità che possono essere sistemate.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The food and the beds are really bad! The mattress are too soft and old, giving no restful sleep. The breakfast, lunch or dinner is not worth mentioning. Luckily along the beach are very good restaurants like The wave, Hawai … The gym doesn’t really work out, not only cause the ac doesn’t work. It could be nice, it needs new mattresses, better food, and more engagement in maintance the buildings. But there is no will or idea, just making money out of the nice first concept and being located on the see… but even here you miss simple thinks of comfort like an umbrella! No recommendation!
