Gran Visita de Regreso

"Hace ocho años nos quedamos aquí y nos encantó. Regresamos y, aunque el nombre había cambiado, el mismo compromiso con el servicio y la comodidad de los huéspedes era de primera categoría. Para citar a mi otra mitad "Aunque nos gusta hacer algo nuevo todo el tiempo , podríamos volver aquí una vez al año".

"El complejo era súper tranquilo, limpio y se sentía muy refinado. Las vistas desde las habitaciones son insuperables. La piscina en el balcón nos dio a mi esposa y a mí la oportunidad de retirarnos a nuestra habitación y aún así disfrutar de la puesta de sol en el agua con un vino en la mano. ¡Además, el servicio y la hospitalidad de todo el personal fueron fantásticos! Nos sentimos muy seguros".
