Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offered spacious, clean rooms that were nicely decorated but lacked luxury compared to the spa. The disabled room was a letdown, with unnecessary cost-saving measures for this standard of accommodation. The staff provided very helpful service, although there were minor issues with one member during our stay. The location was wonderful during the heatwave, but the hotel felt a bit remote and had some overcrowding at times. The dining experience varied, with hard-working staff but poor taste in some dishes. Overall, the facilities were decent, meeting basic needs.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with simple decor. While the rooms were a bit smelly, they met the standard without any issues. The service was generally good, with helpful staff. The location, although needing improvement, was well-kept and convenient for spa water access. The dining options were varied with tasty meals. The pool area added a special touch to the hotel.
