"Never was able to utilize the spa as reservations for use were needed. Due to spending most of the day exploring, the spa was often booked in the evenings. It wasn't worth the extra cost. "

### Fosshotel Barón

4/10 Poor

"Room was clean. Staff were very pleasant. There was no sea view. There were shops nearby. Sleeping was a challenge. This is because the doors every room are locked using a standard lock and key. The doors themselves have no soundproofing capabilities at all. And the noise created when people are trying to access their rooms was truly remarkable. This would tend to happen late at night and very early in the morning making it difficult to sleep. For that reason alone, I would not use this hotel again."
