Scene
Aging hotel with old-fashioned decor and lovely pool complex
There are very few modern elements to Hotel Spa Sagitario Playa. Decor is minimal throughout the hotel: common areas and corridors look a bit dated. The lobby is quite large, with tiled flooring, leather sofas, large paintings, and a central staircase leading to hotel rooms. The rooms are more modern than the common areas. The spa is the most elegant space in the hotel. It offers a silent and tranquil zone in which to relax. Kids are accommodated with a shallow pool next to the large outdoor swimming pool. Apart from the playground, the pool is the only feature aimed specifically at accommodating kids in the hotel. There's a daily evening entertainment program that varies each night. The quiet location and peaceful hotel means that the hotel is mostly frequented by couples looking to relax and unwind.
