10/10 Exceptional

Et veldig fint hotell med hyggelige og profesjonelle ansatte, fint bassengområde og flotte rom. Frokosten var god. Både bassengbaren og hovedrestauranten serverte gode lunsjretter til fornuftige priser. Nabohotellets fasiliteter kan benyttes, og jeg vil spesielt anbefale å spise middag på deres italienske restaurant - Il Basilico. God mat, hyggelig betjening og ok priser. Hotellets egen sunset-bar må besøkes for å oppleve den fine solnedgangen. For øvrig tenker jeg at nærmeste sentrum (Ohlos de Agua) er litt begrenset, så leiebil anbefales. Det var greit å finne gratis parkeringsplasser i kort gangavstand under hele oppholdet. Bildene viser sunset-barens utsikt.
