Fue un viaje de pareja y disfrutamos al máximo mi esposo dice que es un lugar que nunca va a olvidar, el confort, el lujo, todo, te sientes top. Un ambiente muy romántico y a la vez familiar. Desde que llegas siente la calidez y amabilidad de sus empleados, el chico del checking es muy amable creo que se llama Ame (o algo parecido) me dieron la opción de hacer late check out y nos vino muy bien ya que pudimos disfrutar un poco más. El trato en el restaurante italiano 5/10 La pizza muy quemada y muy subida de sal El mesero no esperaba bien a que le ordenáramos algo del menú y se retiraba sin uno terminar de pedir. Una locura total. Por lo demás 10/10 la piscina infinita NOS FASCINÓ. Suele estar vacía desde la mañana como hasta las 12 del medio día ya en la tarde es más concurrida. El desayuno 10/10 todo delicioso, meseros muy amables y atentos.

The rooms were outdated. Some fixtures didn’t work like the shower head. There was a smaller shower head attached to a bigger one, the big one sprayed water everywhere so we opt to use the small one during our stay. The interior could use some renovations. Other than that the staff was patient and very friendly/ helpful. I would visit again.
