Me he alojado con unos amigos esta semana para pasar unos dias de descanso y disfrutar de los Carnavales de Maspalomas. Nos ha encantado el hotel, sus instalaciones son impecables, las habitaciones muy amplias y cómodas. Todo su personal es encantador, siempre preocupados de que no nos faltará nada. El restaurante es excelente, tanto el comedor buffet para desayunos como el servicio de carta. Las camareras de pisos, además de dejar nuestra habitación siempre en perfecto estado de limpieza, lo hacen siempre con una sonrisa. La ubicación es idónea, muy cerca de todas las zonas de interés. Sin duda volveremos.

Appartementen en bungalows zijn ruim maar wel wat gedateerd. Max en Roberto van de animatie zijn een gouden duo. Aparte melding voor Noelia de huishouding. Zij is geweldig en zo lief.
