The room was very spacious and very clean. The staff was incredibly kind and respectful. The only thing that bothered us was the early closure of all bars, especially since it was adults only.

Sofía by Bunik
Staff was wonderful. Room was very nice and the pool area was great! We were there for a month and really enjoyed it. One exception was the hotel is noisy. You can hear the furniture moving around above you and people talking outside your room. It can be frustrating.
