The hotel room was a spacious Double or Twin Room. I appreciated the tea and coffee facilities. The entertainment each evening was very enjoyable. I also found the receptionist Lida to be quite helpful.

I encountered an issue with the indoor swimming pool. It was closed for refurbishment . The hotel did not mention this closure on their website.

quality food buffet style

The room had a TV and a mini fridge. The hotel maintains cleanliness, thanks to the cleaning staff. They do their work very hard. Breakfast had quality food. I also ate dinner at six restaurants. The meal was buffet style. It included delicious dishes.

The hotel is far from several locations. A taxi or bus is needed for transport. This can increase holiday costs.
