El chico que nos atendió cuando llegamos por la tarde súper buena onda, siempre atento! El Airbnb tiene una vista muy linda del rooftop El desayuno muy sencillo, la ubicación del lugar un poco alejado de todo, pero con fácil acceso si te gusta explorar el área, la cama de mi hab un poco incómoda y el depa en general con algunos detalles. La alberca estaba sucia y no me pude meter Algo de ruidoso si eres especial para dormir

El lugar tiene una terraza con muy buena vista, tiene playa muy cerca y el personal es muy amable y atento. El cuarto es bastante amplio y cómodo. Me hubiera gustado que en la terraza donde está la alberca cierren más tarde ya que a las 10pm se cierra toda la terraza, de lo demás, me parece excelente por el precio que dan.
