Habitación con gran vista
Nos asignaron la habitación del 3er Piso que es la que tiene la mejor vista. La playa esta a unos 25 metros.
El cuarto es amplio aunque la limpieza NO es su mejor característica. Tiene olor a humedad aunque tiene Aire Acondicionado.
El desayuno aunque básico es bastante bueno.
