Traveler reviews
Fatima Macho
★★★★★a year agoTuve la gran suerte de poder celebrar la Comunión de mi hija el pasado 10 de Mayo donde solo nos abrieron el parque para nosotros. Fue increíble para los niños poder disfrutar de todo ese espacio para ellos solos. Los adultos disfrutamos de la comida fuera y la atención de los profesionales fue inmejorable. Quiero destacar el trato con Eva con quien he estado en contacto continuamente y la que me ha resuelto siempre todas las dudas que me surgían sobre el montaje de la celebración, siempre muy agradable y encantadora, una auténtica profesional. Gracias a Él Recreo por haber hecho que mi hija tuviese un día especial y bonito.

★★★★★a year agoEl lugar tiene una decoración estrambótica pero divertida! Tiene varias salas con distintas decoraciones muy chulas. Una terraza muy agradable y bonita. El parque de bolas va por edades. También se puede comer en el lugar. Está muy limpio y los camareros son muy agradables. Creo que es el lugar ideal para celebrar cumpleaños.
