FrancyColombiaLa atención de las recepcionistas excelente, el hotel es bonito, las habitaciones cómodas
El paso a la playa es maluquisimo porque hay que pasar como por un río y que las habitaciones no tengan Smart tv

Me gustó las instalaciones
El precio sobrevalorado de las cosas, a tal punto que en una ocasión pude notar como me cobraban demás, e hicieron la corrección, anterior a ello, ya había hecho varios pagos, quedo con la duda…
