"Es un hotel fenomenal, su ubicación permite unos atardeceres increíbles.
El servicio y trato de sus colaboradores es muy cálido y cordial, realmente se esmeran por que uno se sienta bien.
Deberían considerar cambiar los aires acondicionados de los cuartos por que están viejos y casi no enfrían. Tuvimos problemas con el primer cuarto asignado, nos cambiaron y el otro estaba igual."
