Fantastic Stay with Really good Service!
helpful staffspacious apartmentgood maintenancereally good service
I have visited this hotel twice a year for several years, alone or with friends. The staff, including Susana, Bruno, and Sergio, are really good. The Barman in the Snack Bar is also amazing (I don't know his name!). I'm 83, and they have always been helpful, offering assistance whenever needed. I appreciate the spacious one bedroom apartment and its maintenance.
The pool towels required a daily fee and deposit.
