A stay to remember
gluten-free optionsskilled staffgood massage
I found gluten-free options at breakfast, a big plus given my dietary needs. The omelets were very good, and cappuccinos were included each morning. The staff knew about gluten,. The hot stone massage at the hotel spa was excellent, and it didn't cost too much.
The air conditioning had some slight issues, though it was eventually fixed.
