Es un sitio tranquilo, con encanto. Para relajarse y desconectar
The breakfast buffet does not have hot dishes and for being a 4-star hotel, it is simple. But everything is very tasty and the lunch and dinner menu is also very good. The spa needs some maintenance, it is also simple but peaceful and charming.
El buffet libre del desayuno no tiene platos calientes y para ser un 4⭐ es sencillo. Pero todo muy rico y el menú del almuerzo y la cena muy bueno también. El spa necesita algún mantenimiento, también es sencillo pero tranquilo y con encanto

El palacete es maravilloso los empleados super gentiles y profesionales .
It's a shame that the kitchen doesn't live up to this wonderful 4-star accommodation. They should improve the spa area if it's already small, and some sauna was not working, so I couldn't enjoy it as I expected.
Lástima que la cocina no esté a la altura de este maravilloso alojamiento de 4?estrellas . Deben mejorar la zona del spa si ya es pequeño y alguna sauna no funcionaba no se pudo disturar como esperaba

Quedamos muy satisfechos con todo en general. La experiencia en el Spa fue excelente. Sin embargo, quedamos gratamente impresionados con el profesionalismo, atenciones y don de gente del mestre-sala en el restaurante. Hacía mucho tiempo que no me hacían sentir verdaderamente especial en un restaurante. No solo nos trató de esa manera tan especial a mi esposa y a mí sino a cada comensal en el restaurante. Lamentablemente no sé su nombre.
The only thing I would suggest would be to change the mattress in that room. I can't tell if all the others are in the same condition. Even so, I would repeat.
Lo único que sugeriría sería cambiar el colchón de esa habitación. No puedo saber si todos los demás están en las mismas condiciones. Aún así yo repetiría.

El gran encanto y la gran historia del hotel palacio
When they have a big celebration at the hotel, they should consider setting a night curfew that is not 3 in the morning like it happened to me. And they should think about the other guests who are staying and want to rest, everything has a balance. And they have not been able to do so due to poor management.
Cuando tengan alguna gran celebración en el hotel que piensen en poner una hora limite por la noche y que no sea las 3 de la mañana como me sucedió a mí
Y que piensen en los demás usuarios que están alojados y quieren descansar todo tiene un equilibrio
Y no han podido por si mala gestión
