LudovicaItalyLa pulizia assolutamente scarsa. Il bagno era sporco. Le asciugamani erano bucate. Non avevano un asciugacapelli.
Unica nota positiva il personale, disponibile.
Pulizia assolutamente da migliorare.
MagdalenaArgentinaLas vistas de Santa Marta y la piscina abierta hasta las 22h.
Le falta algo de mantenimiento en las zonas exteriores ( pasarelas- barandas).
