Absence of a welcoming host that could help in our stay and make suggestions to improve our stay. The offerings in tea and coffee were meager., by Josef

- Review: The receptionist was very kind and accommodating. We had a small incident, and after sharing with her, she went beyond our expectations to make our stay comfortable. I can’t say enough how caring she was. The rental of golf equipment was a bit pricey, and I would have expected to have a bit better price for guest of the hotel, but that wasn’t the case. Of course, for longer stay, it is worth getting your own equipment. However, for us, it was unexpected decision to visit, so no gold equipment..., by Evdokia, July 7, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent
