"Мы с подругой отдыхали неделю назад. Это был невероятный отпуск для нас. Комнаты порадовали своей чистотой и уютом, каждую уборку меняли полотенца на свежие, добавляли в ёмкасти шампунь, кондиционер для волос и гель для душа.Холодильник каждый день наполняли питьевой водой, пивом и сладкими газированными напитками. Территория отеля всегда была чистая, ни мусора, ни окурков. Работники отеля всегда встречали нас с улыбкой и дружелюбием. Отвечали на все наши вопросы, если нас что то интересовало. Еда в буфете и гриль- баре на территории бассейнов была разнообразный и очень вкусной! Напитки в барах лились рекой, выбирай на любой вкус. Также мы посетили СПА - салон: сауна, хамам, горячий и холодный бассейн, массаж и солевую комнату. Это было невероятное расслабление для тела и отдых для души. Катание на джетски, надувном банане, пробные уроки с аквалангом, аквапарк сделали наш отпуск ярким и красочным. Также мы посетили Чичен Ицу, деревню Майя и Сенот - Это была очень интересная и познавательная экскурсия. Обязательно и с большим удовольствием вернёмся в этот отель ещё и ещё раз."
