Hotel excelente, refeições impecáveis e nem precisamos agendar os restaurantes temáticos. Tinha de tudo e sempre em ótima qualidade. Infelizmente o salgazo impediu de usarmos o mar, porém o que não demandava de ações externas, o hotel entregou. Senti um pouco de falta de música, já que só tocava na piscina com bar para adultos. Chegamos 2h antes e autorizam nosso acesso sem qualquer dificuldade, check-in perfeito
