What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious & Modern

My stay in room 205 was good. The main living space was roomy with a queen size bed, a couch, and a kitchenette. I especially appreciated having a separate bedroom for the kids, which provided them with their own space. The decor was modern, even if a bit tired. Overall, the size and layout of the room were perfect for a family vacation.

Great Pool Area

I loved relaxing by the large pool surrounded by well-kept gardens. There were numerous tables and chairs scattered throughout the garden, making it a perfect spot for both adults and kids. The tennis court was a real bonus, and we enjoyed playing a few games during our stay. It truly enhanced our experience at the resort.

Generous Breakfast

I was pleasantly surprised by the continental breakfast included with our stay. The portions were generous – each person received four servings of different foods, including fruit and raisin toast. Although the toast was a tad burnt, it was a good way to start the day. The on-site dining options offer enough variety to satisfy different palates.

Enjoyable Tennis Experience

I had a great time using the tennis court. It was well-maintained and allowed for some friendly competition with my family. This amenity added a fun layer to our stay, encouraging us to stay active while also enjoying our vacation. It was a fantastic opportunity to bond and create lasting memories.
