Mi estanciafue excepcional. La habitación era lujosa, con comodidades modernas y vistas impresionantes. El personal fue increíblemente amable y atento, haciéndome sentir bienvenido desde el momento en que llegué. La piscina en la azotea y la excepcional gastronomía añadieron a la experiencia. ¡Lo recomiendo altamente para una escapada perfecta! ¡Cinco estrellas!
