The rooms were comfortable, and very dark and quiet for sleep, great balcony and great shower with an area to dry bathing suits. Loved the restaurant by the pool and the staffs were amazing.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (399 reviews)

Excellent hotel (English spoken). We opted for a deluxe double room with lake and golf course view. It had a lovely sunny balcony with chairs and table. The room itself was large and airy with desk, chairs, large settee and tea and coffee making facilities, large spacious bathroom with bath robes and shoes. The breakfast, too was excellent with a huge choice of hot and cold food and freshly squeezed orange juice. (Even as non-golfers) I would highly recommend this hotel. Tip: You pay (only) a little more for the very best rooms.
