En general fue bueno, los alimentos son balanceados, tienen buen menu, los cuartos a pesar de faltarle un poco mas de mantenimiento, son comodos, el servicio de los meseros en la piscina y restaurantes es muy bueno.. lo unico a mejorar es la actitud de las dos mujeres q trabajan en recepción, les falta ser mas amables y tener mas actitud de servicio.. en general mi estadia fue buena.. es importante aclarar que el hotel no tiene una buena playa para pasar el día.. caminando 20 min hay buenas playas para pasar el día.
