Las habitaciones son de un precio promedio. Muy limpias y amplias. Las personas de la recepción muy agradables. La playa está a 3 calles. Se los recomiendo.
Hola ¿Cómo me puedo comunicar para apartar una habitación?
Si es solo para descansar, bañarse y dejar tus pertenencias está bien no es lujoso pero si está muy limpio el
Hotel, limpio la t.v no es de paga solo cuenta con los canales abiertos, las tuyas son pequeñas, los trabajadores son amables, respetan el costo de la habitación y no suben el costo por temporada alta que eso es muy bueno...
Todo bien excelente sin chinches ni mal holor y los de recepción amables solo q la ubicación está un poco lejos de la playa solo q ay si fue mi culpa
Todo el servicio muy bien, la administración amable, lugar tranquilo, 2 espacios para carros en chochera, tv cable, aire acondicionado, agua caliente, limpieza bien, el único detalle es que falta poco mantenimiento al edificio pero de ahí en fuera todo bien
El trato de la gerencia hacia las personas es muy agradable, habitaciones limpias y acogedoras. Además cuenta con aire acondicionado de.buen funcionamiento y tv por cable. Precio muy accesible y bien ubicado a 10 min caminando del acuario
Un poco de humedad el aroma en recámaras... Pero por el precio lo demás está bien... Les falta tener agua caliente
