9.8/10 Exceptional! (232 reviews)
"Regretted that I didn't book a waterfront resort. The carpark view kills the vacation mood. The restaurants didn't have particularly inviting atmosphere and the gym and the swimming pools were not connected to the hotel. The only positive thing was the shower pressure."
