excellent stay!

helpful staff english choices cappuccino treat lovely bar

The staff were helpful. They arranged a taxi to the airport for 15 euros. the ride took about 20 minutes, it was very convenient. the breakfast included english choices. i found the cappuccino available until 11 am a treat. the bar was lovely.

I thought the bathroom design needed improvement. The shower door did not shut well. water sprayed everywhere during showers. the shower lacked a shelf for bathing products, inconvenient.

cute staff extensive choice seamless transfer

The staff was amazing, always helpful and cute. breakfast was a highlight. There was so much choice, and everything was well presented. i especially liked that the hotel helped with car hire and transfers. It made everything seamless.

I found the bathroom design to be a little problematic. The shower door did not shut properly. this resulted in water spraying all over the bathroom floor. it was difficult to avoid, and i used extra towels to mop it up.

dated area cold beans

I was annoyed the pool area needed some serious attention and looked quite old, it was not inviting at all. the hot breakfast was consistently cold. The beans were cold, the eggs cold, and the bacon was also cold. it's frustrating to pay for a hot breakfast and receive food that is anything but. it really soured the experience, especially when i expected better quality.
