Las cajas fuertes de la habitacion no funcionan
Te dicen que te ponen tetera y bandeja de fruta en la habitacion y no es verdad
En tres dias no cambiaron las sabanas
Nadie habla castellano y dice que la recepcion si habla castellano
El spa es de pago
El bufett es puntual para cerrar
No importa que no termines
