Charming large hotel that keeps it's cozy, friendly and yet very professional atmosphere. All staff members were extremely obliging, friendly, always smiling, always willing to help and go beyond their usual job requirements. Lovely garden, very relaxing pool bar area, rich breakfast buffet, great selection of meals in restaurants. The gym suits it's purpose though it would deserve a bigger space and better AC:). The spa was also good. I felt so much welcome!
