Todo super bien. Solo que el primer día sólo había una persona en recepción y duramos mucho haciendo el check-in. Debería haber una ducha para cambiarse en la piscina y no ir mojados hasta la habitación.

Room was dirty: hairs all over the bathroom, no hot water, lamp broken, old bar soap stuck on the sink and even found a previous guest’s body wash sitting on the towel shelf. This stay was less than ideal and not really acceptable for the money paid.
Pubic hair in shower
Previous guest’s body wash
Light falling apart in bathroom

My stay was cool. The rooms do not have a microwave, a mini fridge and even Kleenex. The room also does have a lot working electrical outlets, it was hard to charge multiple devices. The property was nice and the room did what it needed to do for one night.
