Estuvimos una semana en el hotel. Es ideal para parejas. La atención del personal es destacable. El desayuno siempre fresco, con opciones dulces y saladas. El agua de la pileta siempre estaba calentita y al estar abierta hasta las 22hs permitía disfrutarla todos los días. Nuestro cuarto contaba con aire acondicionado, smart TV y mini bar.
