    Disliked: We stayed in deluxe room (we were family 2 adults and 2 kids): the layout was extremely impractical. The toilet had a transparent door, offering almost no privacy, and there was barely any space to get dressed. Literally, you had to get dressed inside the toilet or in the shower. the jacuzzi was not heated well, the temperature was around 26°C. This limitation was not mentioned anywhere in the room description or booking information, which was very disappointing. The room also had a bathtub positioned right in the middle of the room, which was unusual and impractical…

    They were very nice but false advertising that pools are heated

    Liked: Very nice and welcoming staff, clean and well organized

    Disliked: They advertise the property as - “heated pools” and hot tubs, however the water was super cold and wasn’t possible to get into neither the pool nor the “hot tub”

    Relaxing stay

    Liked: We particularly enjoyed the breakfast (especially the pancakes!) and the private pool in our room. The staff were also lovely, especially the cleaning staff. The room comes with bathrobes and slippers. Towels and sheets were changed every day, which we really liked. The room was quiet - nothing coming through from the other rooms.

    Disliked: We don’t think the hotel represents an actual 5 stars facility. The buffet surely has room for improvement, with better quality of food and options. In our room, the mini fridge was very loud all day and night long, which kept us up at night. The finishes of the room and the bathroom were not those of a 5 stars hotel. There isn’t much around the facility, with mostly only a small supermarket with few and expensive items.
