Justement ça que nous cherchions, les journées bien remplis dans le parc et les soirées super tranquilles dans La Estepa. Le petit déjeuner buffet est trop bon, avec de la "pasta frola" et autres bonnes choses locales, vraiment bien pour commencer la journée du bon pied.

Adicional tienen servicio de restaurante, lo cual fue súper útil y además la comida muy rica. Por favor prueben la provoleta :). Los días que tuvimos tour reservamos este hotel, realmente útil porque te pasan a recoger de último y te dejan de vuelta de primero. Con esto tienes tiempo de disfrutar el restaurante y las vistas del amanecer y atardecer. Por un costo adicional puedes programar las viandas para los tours y además servicio de lavandería. Si necesitas ir al centro, el costo del remis es barato. Completamente recomendable, volveríamos sin duda.

Pedimos ayuda en recepción para hacer una reserva y no nos hicieron mucho caso, nos dijeron que no llamaban porque el restaurante atendía por orden de llegada, pero no era así, era solo con reserva. Podían haberlo intentado al menos, pero fue más la actitud que otra cosa, porque todos nos podemos equivocar.
