H10 Palacio Colomera
"Perfect location. Bathroom a great size and the shower was nice and powerful. The pool area was pleasant. One big negative for us was that the breakfast only offered self-service coffee machine which for us is not decent enough in a four star hotel. When we go away we want to be pampered."
