We came to this hotel for a weekend in March and were very happy with our stay. The hotel is located in a beautiful place, surrounded by nature, not far from a street with bars and restaurants. The city center is about a 10-minute drive away, and taxis are inexpensive. In addition, the hotel provides a free shuttle to the center, which is very convenient. The hotel itself is located on the coast and has an excellent beach. There are many restaurants and bars on the premises. I think it's especially pleasant to relax here in the summer. The staff is excellent, the receptionists work quickly and are always ready to help. The rooms have been recently renovated, look modern, and fully correspond to the photos. Everything has been thought out for comfort: there are bathrobes, slippers, and a coffee machine. The room is very clean. The breakfast is excellent — there is a large selection of dishes, and they even serve sparkling wine, which creates a pleasant mood. The hotel also offers buffet dinners with a good variety of dishes. One minor drawback is that the bathrooms in the rooms are a little outdated and could use some renovation. However, everything is very clean, and the hotel uses high-quality toiletries. The spa area is paid, and you need a swimming cap for the pool, which you either need to bring with you or buy at the reception. The spa itself could also use some renovation. I would like to mention the gym separately — it has been renovated and has new equipment, so it was really pleasant to work out there. Overall, we had a great weekend. The hotel offers many different activities, the grounds are beautiful and well-maintained, everything is very clean, and there are plenty of places to walk. Thank you to the hotel team for a wonderful stay.
