3 star overall
The amenities were awesome. Very short walk to the beach.
AC wasnt working in one of our rooms.
The last night was an odor of sewage. Was very bad.
Worst experience ever. They keep asking for a printed Bono that we never had with Expedia. They refuse to give us our Gold member upgrade even when they have rooms available. We didn’t get the kind of room we payed for and my daughter (adult) slept in a child’s bed, but this is EXPEDIAS FAULT, the hotel doesn’t have 2 queen beds rooms. The hotel is extremely noisy and they left towels with holes on it in our bathroom. When we were checking out they ask again for a proof of payment, after I had emailed them the receipt. We felt very uncomfortable . I wouldn’t recommend this place.
Absolutely beautiful and well kept property, with a lively pool and huge beach stretching far along the shore. The town nearby is cute. The staff is friendly and food is delicious. Rooms are large. We would love to come back!!
Hotel club avec beaucoup d enfants donc beaucoup de bruit. Belle piscine . Chambre classique . Reste cher 400€ la nuit pour la prestation . Pas de parking propre à l hotel seulement 40mns gratuites pour la dépose des valises, le tarif du parking municipal est du coup exorbitant des lors que vous rentrez et sortez cela vaut le coup de se garer dehors
Una experiencia muy grata. Teníamos El Level y ha sido lo menos grato dado que la tranquilidad brillo por su ausencia. Familias con niños pequeños lo utlizaban casi todo el tiempo como si fuera un todo incluido. Sera un servicio que por muy bueno que sea no volvería a contratar.
El hotel está bastante bien. La experiencia es muy agradable pero tiene dos peros. Es un muy buen 4 estrellas pero a precio de 5. Y sobre todo la comida. Malísima. No se entiende. Verdaderamente mala. Deberían esforzarse porque no es normal que ni una ensalada está buena, ni la pasta, carnes frías... En fin... Por lo demás hotel muy agradable y buen situado
excelente estancia. las instalaciones son perfectas, cuidadas, fantástico desayuno y el entorno magnifico.Solo por poner un pero el servicio de check -in un poco lento.
La estancia ha sido muy agradable. Instalaciones renovadas. Desayuno buffet muy variado y de calidad. Personal muy amable.
Perfecta ubicación en la playa para pasar unos días de descanso
