Blue Bay Hotel

8/10 Good
"La ubicación es excelente, la atención del staff de la recepción impecable, las habitaciones muy cómodas y muy bien diseñadas tan solo detalles como tumbado con hongo negro por húmedad sería mi recomendación a tener en cuenta, no funcionaba una lámpara pero no era tan necesario y el aire no enfría pero tampoco fue necesario pues que entra una brisa marina maravillosa pero no esta de más mencionarlo porque no todos los huéspedes disfrutan del viento externo como.yo. Por el.resto todo fue perfecto"
