Todo super bien. Solo que el primer día sólo había una persona en recepción y duramos mucho haciendo el check-in. Debería haber una ducha para cambiarse en la piscina y no ir mojados hasta la habitación.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was dirty: hairs all over the bathroom, no hot water, lamp broken, old bar soap stuck on the sink and even found a previous guest’s body wash sitting on the towel shelf. This stay was less than ideal and not really acceptable for the money paid.
Pubic hair in shower
Previous guest’s body wash
Light falling apart in bathroom
Old bar soap stuck on counter
