"Muy bien la atención y el hecho que está cerca a la playa. Sin embargo las instalaciones comunes no estaban en tan buen estado (baños, piscina, area de juegos). Además el acceso más cercano a la playa es bastante oscuro e inseguro."

"There are two ACs in the apartment. One 8n the main bedroom and second in tha living room, shared are with the second bedroom. This causes the second bedroom to not be cold enough. Pool said it opened at 10 am. But opened at 11. With an 12 am checkout, that is useless. Besides that, all good."
