Sentido Galosol
10/10 Excellent
"I loved everything about this hotel. The food is amazing, the staff are so nice and helpful, and there are so many things to do, both at the hotel and on the island. The hotel itself is very nice. My room was large and comfortable. I had to extend my stay due to bad weather and they were very accommodating. I will definitely be back!"
