“Buen lugar y muy acogedor (todo muy nuevo) para dormir en Sansenxo, buen ubicación a precio de temporada con buena atención del personal. Parking público cercano, casi siempre hay algo libre. Lo único que me ha faltado un poco de aire acondicionado… solo son 4 días los que hace calor en Galicia , pero si te toca… por lo demás un 10”
