Grata sorpresa, todo excelente!
Excelente servicio por parte de los anfitriones, las habitaciones son amplias, cómodas y muy limpias, debo decir que ame la regadera del baño! El desayuno excelente con variedad de opciones: huevos, jugos, café, fruta, pan, todo de buena calidad y muy higiénico. Muy buena ubicación cerca de Playa Dorada, el lugar muy tranquilo y seguro.
