"Lovely hotel very central. Nice pool area too. Fabulous breakfast choice, very varied buffet. My only observation there was no tea/coffee making facilities in the room which for a 4 star hotel is unusual. The coffee machine at breakfast worked well though 😊"

"The pool closes in the early evening. Food was not very good. Staff was nice. Room was fine. Loud dance party every night by pool keeps you awake. Cool location. Bed was really hard even by Euro standards. Restaurant seemed like a complete afterthought."
