8 Diego Travelled with family June 2025 Without a doubt, the hotel staff is a 10. We went with an 11-month-old baby and they gave us all the facilities in the world and they behaved great from the moment we arrived. They gave us all the facilities for food. Dining room staff is a 10.
Sin lugar a dudas el personal del hotel 10. Fuimos con un bebé de 11 meses y nos dieron todas las facilidades del mundo y se portaron genial desde que entramos. Nos dieron todas las facilidades para la comida. Personal del comedor un 10.
They have to improve the management of the bars, I can't pay for an all-inclusive and wait half an hour to order a mojito, soft-drink, or whatever.
Tienen que mejorar la gestión de las barras no puedo pagar un todo incluido y esperar media hora para pedir un mojito, refresco o lo que sea.

Sin duda el personal del hotel son muy atentos y amables pero merecen mención especial el equipo de animación y "Juan" el chófer que te lleva a la playa, son geniales.

El personal super amable y atento, las instalaciones también muy bien.
I would improve the room cleaning, as it was not really as it should be... there were hairs in the bathtub upon entering and they were not ours since we had not used the room...

9.7 Soraya Travelled with family June 2025 It is a very family-friendly hotel, I have been going for several years and it still has that charm that characterizes it. The staff in general make you feel at home, they try to solve anything you need as quickly as possible. My husband felt unwell one day and Juan, the dining room manager, didn't waste any time in having a colleague prepare a meal just for him, and without making me wait, they brought it up to the room with his water and bread. I definitely always recommend it, and those who go there come back delighted, thanking me for the recommendation and insisting that they will return. I could write many more positive things and honestly no negatives. It is a magnificent hotel, thank you for giving us some very good days. We will return.
Es un hotel muy familiar, llevo varios años y sigue teniendo ese encanto que le caracteriza, El personal en general hacen que te sientas como en casa, cualquier cosa que necesites te lo intentan solucionar en la mayor brevedad. Mi marido estuvo un día indispuesto y me falto tiempo para que Juan el encargado de sala hiciera llamar un compañero para hacerle una comida solo para él y teniendo el detalle de no hacerme esperar me lo subieron a la habitación con su agua y pan. Sin duda lo recomiendo siempre y los que van, vuelven encantados y dándome las gracias por la recomendación insistiendo en que volverán. Escribiría muchas más cosas positivas y sinceramente ninguna negativa. Es un hotel magnífico, gracias por hacernos pasar unos días muy buenos. Volveremos.
