I really liked the food, quite good with a lot of merchandise imported from Spain. The cleanliness is also quite good. The pool is very small for so many people. The good thing is that there are beaches very close to the Hotel with calm, crystal-clear waters that are beautiful, like Playa del Limon and, above all, Playa Moron, a paradise.
