Great staff always available for you, the pool is amazing my daughter love it. My only problem was the air conditioner, you need to call the reception to set the temperature of the room, you don't have the control and during my stay the air conditioner turned off at night.

Nice and clean hotel. Exelent lokation The staff was nice and friendly but not all of them. Last day we had a problem with air-conditioner, and spoke with lady on the reception, she kept me for more then half the hour, then promise will send someone to fix the problem. She didn't send anyone, nobody looked after.
