We always collect an important amount of information before guests’ arrival which allow us to surprise each of our guests based on their expectations. We presented one of our repeat guests, who is a fan of the FC Barcelona, with a custom made bathrobe with the FCB logo that he carried back home and made him feel like a sport superstar.
