The breakfast offered a very wide selection of tasty, high-quality dishes. The wellness area provided a clean and enjoyable experience. I appreciated the comfortable beds, ensuring a great rest. I would gladly return to this beautiful, clean hotel.
The number of loungers by the pool was limited. This shortage created some inconvenience during peak times. Hopefully, additional seating can be added to accommodate more guests.
