We had a really nice stay, enjoying the lovely restaurant with delicious buffet options and friendly staff who always went the extra mile for us. My dad particularly loved the entertainment. one evening featured a great singer who really engaged the audience.
For dads, it would be great if there were more kid-friendly entertainment options.

Loved the comfy double bed in my single room! 🌟 The staff were really helpful, but the carpets could have used a bit more cleaning.

We had a nice stay, and the breakfast spread was surprisingly good with perfectly cooked eggs. Relaxing near the heated swimming pool and soaking in the jacuzzi really helped us unwind after a busy day. The stair access was a bit awkward for our luggage, but it didn't ruin our overall experience. 😊

The buffet breakfast offers a solid variety, keeping you fueled for a day of adventure. Free parking available is a big bonus in a place where every street corner seems to have pay-and-display.
First, the room we got, despite being a twin request, ended up being a double with twin beds—I had to arrange that, which was annoying. The kettle had a rusty element that went unaddressed, and there were broken light bulbs by the evening. The cleanliness left much to be desired. I found hair from a previous guest on the carpet, which set off my asthma. The decor in the room felt outdated, like stepping into a time warp, and don’t get me started on the dated bathroom—it looked like it needed several coats of paint to revive it. the atmosphere felt tired and lacked the shine promised in the photos.

Pool vibes and friendly staff!
Had a blast during my 3 nights! The pool area was super chill, and I really felt like I was on vacay, especially with the sunny weather. The cocktails were on point, and the staff were so nice, always helping out. Breakfast was fab too, but the room needed a refresh and some deep cleaning.

Had a delightful stay! My room was spacious with a lovely view of the pool. The private pool area was a fab bonus for relaxing.
But seriously, the shower was so small it felt like a contest for who could get clean first! And parking? An eager game of musical chairs.
