The Palm Bay Club Lodge

The Palm Bay Club Lodge

8/10 Good
"La propiedad tiene un diseño muy bonito y acogedor pero los alrededores, sobre todo el acceso a la playa estaban descuidados. La playa los Gringos es tiene un paisaje muy lindo, una arena muy suave color dorada y sus aguas son cálidas, pero la arena de la playa estaba muy sucia. La habitación estaba bien pero sufrimos problemas eléctricos a media noche."

"Very spacious, tranquile and secured area. Very neat apartment. Just need to place more efficient and stronger A/C's in all rooms and dark curtains in the windows for each bedroom. And add more small towers in the kitchen to dry and clean surfaces, mop on each bathroom. The parking needs to be restrucrured for two car each side. The rest is very good."
