¡Qué lugar tan maravilloso! Los bungalows son increíbles, el clima es fantástico y el bar lo completa todo. Deliciosas bebidas, aperitivos sabrosos y un ambiente que te sumerge por completo en la vibra vacacional. ¿Pero qué es lo que realmente hace especial a este lugar? ¡El increíble personal! Un gran reconocimiento para Nisa, Alejandro y la nueva estrella, Dina: todos súper amables, acogedores y siempre dispuestos a una charla o a un trago de "Diplomatie". ¡Han hecho que nuestras vacaciones sean aún mejores! Gracias por una estancia espectacular y hasta la próxima vez. 🍹☀️🎉

Mijn vriend en ik komen hier ieder jaar met veel plezier. Het is een schoon, luxe en goed verzorgd hotel. Het personeel is zeer vriendelijk en neemt altijd de tijd om even te kletsen. Vele mensen komen hier elk jaar en het personeel onthoudt precies wie wie is. Het ontbijtbuffet is zeer uitgebreid en van goede kwaliteit. Het restaurant (El Portalon) is een van de betere in de buurt. Je kan hier zeer lekker eten. De kamers zijn ruim, schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien, plus een zeer groot balkon. Er zijn maar liefst drie zwembaden, voor ieder wat wils qua drukte of animatie.
