El lugar super tranquilo, limpio,habitaciones amplias, cero ruidos, la alberca limpia, en general todo fue excelente. Lo único que cambiaría que hubiera más variedad a su restaurante. De todo lo demás super bien lo recomiendo.

Todo muy bien, el unico detalle fue el internet que estuvo muy intermitente y no se podia ver bien un programa de tv ya que todo esta por streming, y pues tambien imposible poder trabajar com la computadora, asi como tambien la ubicacion de la tv que la pusieron muy esquinada, de ahi en fuera todo lo demas sin queja alguna.
