I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The accommodations were modern and spacious, making it a great place to relax. The breakfast was delightful with plenty of options, although the coffee could have been better. The pool area was nice and well taken care of, but I did find the Wi-Fi service a bit lacking as it wasn't included in the package.
