9.1 Antonio Travelled with family September 2025
Me ha encantado obviamente su parque acuático, y muchísimo sus snacks del bar aquafun, su todo incluido ha sido fabuloso, camareros muy atentos... habitaciones amplias, acceso a las habitaciones muy directos... repetimos el año que viene
La limpieza debería mejorar, mi habitación en toda mi estancia no han hecho una buena limpieza, la bañera tenia pelos,el suelo en general no estaba limpio la habitación no olíó a limpia en ningún momento de mi estancia, no habia gel y ni aún diciéndoselo a la chica de la limpieza el mismo dia 12 que entramos lo puso. Ya de tarde volvimos a pedirlo a uma chica diferente y nos dió el bote. Los teléfonos no funcionan

8.3 Yolanda Travelled with family September 2025
La comida del buffet no estaba buena, era siempre lo mismo. Menos el sábado que cambiaron. Era mejor comer fuera en los snacks que el buffet
Si, la variedad del buffet y que deberían ampliar el horario del bar del todo incluido hasta las 12. No es lógico que mientras todavía haya espectáculo corten la barra

9.4 Patricia Travelled with family September 2025
La calidad del hotel impresionante, muy amables todos y volvería sin duda
El aspecto negativo sería que el todo incluido termina a las 23:00 a diferencia de otros hoteles que terminan a las 00:00. Lo otro sería que está lejos de la playa y aunque te ponen el transporte solo está hasta las 19:00
