9/10 Wonderful! (1,025 reviews)
"Great hotel, good location, nice pool and bar. The problem was the breakfast. They didn’t plan to have food for the whole breakfast period and it was very disappointing, even 30 min before the end I could only get scraps or potatoes, no eggs whatsoever. It felt poorly managed."
