    Sommes-nous près du port pour un départ de croisiere, est ce le trajet se fait à pied?
    Necesito una noche el 5 al 6 Mayo
    Saludos! Entiendo que estamos en época difícil para reservas. Aún así necesito saber si de casualidad tienen 4 habitaciones para la noche del viernes 10 de noviembre.
    Saludos¿ se admiten mascota, una perrita pequeña?
    Saludos Eliezer C Te informo, este hotel no es "pet friendly" por lo que si llevas a tu perrita contigo tendrás que pagar un cargo adicional por costos de mantenimiento de la habitación. Si te pareció útil mi ayuda por favor marca " útil " 👍🏼. Gracias y buen viaje.
