Unfortunately they don't have telephones, I left something and I didn't take long to return.... it turns out that it is no longer there... understandable about not being responsible, but they should give a period of 24 hours..... A $400 watch is impossible for them not to have found..... For me the rating goes down no matter how nice the place is..... Bad... Very bad...
