Hotel Antonio

8/10 Good
"Overall good stay and very close to the beach, which makes it a prime location to stay. It has what you beed, along with a great breakfast, spacious rooms, and a large balcony. Rooms could improve with more amenities such as body lotion and a separate shampoo and body wash. Also the showers are newly renovated but the plumbing isn’t strong so the water doesn’t drain very quickly. Easy fixes and could just be my room, otherwise no issues!"

"Nous avons été très bien reçus par Sandra. Hote très sympathique. Le logement est bien situé pour rayonner dans la région. Vue magnifique depuis le très agréable jardin dont nous avons bien profité. Tout petit bémol pour nous, le fait que certains voyageurs doivent dormir dans la pièce de vie/cuisine et qu’il n’y ait pas de fenêtre et qu’on soit un peu dérangés par le bruit du frigo mais rien de grave. A 2 en dormant dans la chambre ce doit être parfait. Sinon appartement bien équipé (manque peut être un four micro ondes) En tout cas nous recommandons."
