El personal encantador, la comida mucha variedad muy bien, repetiremos.
The bald driver of the van that takes you to the beach is verrrryyyyy unpleasant. We rode one day and didn't ride again, because we couldn't stand him, the beach is very close, we were walking there.
El conductor calvo de la furgoneta que te lleva a la playa es muuuuyyyyyy desagradable. Montamos un día y no volvimos a montar, por no aguantarle, está cerquita la playa íbamos andando.

8 José Javier Travelled with family August 2025 The stay at this hotel is always pleasant, the staff is very professional.
La estancia en este hotel siempre es agradable , el personal muy profesional.
The open bar has a very short duration, ending the activities afterwards and not being able to make use of it. With the TI, that time slot should not exist.
La barra libre tiene una duración muy corta , acabando las actividades posteriormente y no pudiendo hacer uso de ella . Con el TI se debería de no tener esa franja horaria .
