3 Night Relaxing Stay at Aura

The staff was super attentive and the pool was gorgeous. The masseuse is too good as well.

− There could be a little more vegetarian options!

Das Hotel ist ganz wunderbar. Das Personal ist freundlich, überall ist ein Lächeln auf den Gesichtern, sie es ob es sich um die Rezeption oder das Reinigungspersonal handelt. Es gibt einen privaten Strand und viele Möglichkeiten, so dass einem nicht langweilig wird. Toll, war dass es so ruhig war, beispielsweise hat die Bar um 10 Uhr geschlossen, so dass man hinterher noch draußen sitzen konnte und die Natur genießen konnte und dann aber auch schlafen konnte!

− Leider liegt Cholon Bay direkt gegenüber und nachmittags ist es laut mit den Jetski Fahrern und der Musik, aber das geht jedoch, weil es Tagesgäste sind und sie nachmittags wieder verschwinden, so dass man den Abend ruhig genießen kann.

Lindo pero alejado de todo

9.0

Las instalaciones muy cómodas, el personal muy atento a todo. Osvaldo, Lordi y todo el personal excelente

− No hay restaurantes, ni comercios, farmacias, etc cerca. Está pensando para la consumición exclusiva en el lugar. La playa es pequeña, pero tiene una muy linda piscina.
