8.2/10 Very Good! (216 reviews)

The staff is really amazing, we can’t thank enough for making my wife and I feel like we’re at home. The point that we didn’t like that much was the bathroom in our room, a little bit small with a small cabin shower, no individual hygiene products such as shampoo or bathing gel and there was no much attention to the fact of refilling the products available. We were in for seven nights and we also think that in the middle of the stay, the bed sheets should be changed for clean ones. Besides that, everything was and is really amazing!

Wow, this place reeks of history. Seriously ancient crumbling ruins from many centuries ago. To be sure, it could use more restoration but we found it interesting nonetheless.
