Achten Sie auf das Zimmer

Die Zimmer variieren in ihrer Qualität extrem. Aus manchen Zimmern blickt man nur auf die Dächer der anderen Zimmer. Nur die Suiten sind zu empfehlen. Die Anlage liegt auf einem Berg, dies bedeutet einen anstrengenden Weg zum Pool und Zimmer. Man hört den Lärm der Straße und von den Diskotheken am Ort.

En general el hotel es muy lindo y cómodo, pero le agrandaria la piscina pues muy pequeña, y en la banbusa1 había olor a cañería, fumigaria con más frecuencia para ormigas en las camas....

Decepcionante y sobrevalorado

No vale lo que cuesta. Es la primera vez que en un hotel nada mas llegar, hacen inventario de toallas, servibar, perchas de plastico. Tambien al pedir que nos bajaran las maletas el día que salimos, antes de bajar las maletas, realizaron oytra vez el inventario. No sé que tipo de gente se hospeda en éste hotel, pero no me parece que sea la forma correcta de hacer las cosas. - No había un armario en condiciones para poder colgar la ropa. - La papelera del baño estaba sucia con restos del huesped anterior. - El grifo de agua caliente del lavabo no fncionaba. Se reportó dos veces a recepción y ni lo arreglaron durante la estancia, ni se nos dió ningún tipo de explicación. - La limpieza de las habitaciones bastante mejorable. - las lámparas en ámbas mesillas dejaron de funcionar ya que los cables hacían "falso contacto" - La parte positiva es el trato por parte del personal quienes fueron todos muy amables.

Super schönes Hotel , aber leide zu laut!

Das Nativa lässt in Hinblick auf Komfort , Sauberkeit und Ausstattung wenig wünsche übrig. Allerdings kann ich es nich empfehlen da selbst mit Ohrstöpseln an Schlaf kaum zu denken war. Der Lärm der Discos in Montanita, der von ca. 22:00- 4:00 anhält, ist fast unerträglich. Zudem ist es so hellhörig, dass man seine Zimmernachbarn bei normaler Konversationslautstärke so gut versteht als Ständen sie neben einem. Sehr schade, da ansonsten alles Stimmt.
