No tiene aire acondicionado y en noches de mucho calor o si usas el jacuzzi, son MUY necesarias. También exceso el gel de ducha. Había 2 botes y 1 medio vacio. Tiene zona para aparcar y es muy tranquila la zona. La piscina esta a unos 200M del hotel. Está muy bien aunque la piscina sea pequeña, tiene chorros y cascada....
