I had a lovely stay at this hotel, where the cleanliness and attention to detail truly stood out. The rooms were not only spacious but also very comfortable, ensuring a relaxing atmosphere. The variety and quality of the breakfast positively surprised me, and the pool area was a perfect retreat after a long day. However, while the service was efficient, there were moments when staff interaction could have been warmer. Overall, this hotel provides great value for the price, making it a solid choice for travelers.
