Fantastic stay with special moments

stylish roomclean roomfriendly staff
The rooms were fine. They were stylish and very clean. I especially loved that the location of the hotel is perfect. I must mention that the staff were friendly and welcomed me with a warm smile each day. The entire place was super clean, and both pools were fine. (I especially enjoyed the outdoor pool.). The food was fresh and delicious. I would definitely recommend this place. I am already looking forward to a return.
This resulted in its closure. The noise was minimal, but I was sad that I couldn't use the facilities.
