Un hotel ideal para alejarse de todo y relajarse.

Hotel localizado en area muy aislada, con poca actividad nocturna interna y en los alrededores. Difícil de localizar si se va en automóvil pues no tiene señalización. Excelente atención por parte del personal, comida deliciosamente preparada. Habitaciones limpias y confortables.
