Refreshing Pool Retreat

The outdoor pool area was a good escape, with comfortable loungers and quick service for drinks right at the poolside. I enjoyed my time soaking up the sun while being attended to effortlessly. The ambiance was just perfect for a relaxing day.

Really good Lunch Experience

Lunch at the restaurant was a culinary delight. The buffet starters offered a variety of delicious options, and the staff arranged for gluten-free options for my group without any hassle. This flexibility made our special occasion even more enjoyable.

Comfortable Night's Sleep

The spacious single room I stayed in featured a large bed that was tastefully decorated. The blackout curtains were a significant plus, ensuring a pitch-dark environment for a restful sleep, which I greatly appreciated after a long day of activities.
