Todo bien, pero la playa estaba sucia. Videios, latas y plástico por todos lados. No frente a las instalaciones, pero literalmente a la par.

Me gustaron las instalaciones, el personal muy amable, tuve problemas con mi reservación ya que se había marcado otra habitación que yo no había solicitado al momento de realizar la reservación y el joven Richard me solucionó muy bien y eficazmente.! Mi estadía muy bien
