Fantastic Stay with Warm Hospitality From the moment we arrived, the reception was excellent—we were made to feel genuinely welcome right from the car door and throughout our stay, all the way back to the car door after a wonderful week. Every staff member we encountered was consistently helpful, always ready to offer assistance with a smile. The buffet breakfast was a daily highlight, offering a delightful variety to suit every taste and nationality. The on-site restaurants also provided a great selection of dishes—I'll be reviewing those separately. Our room was clean and well-maintained, with excellent hot water pressure. While slightly dated and simple, it was exactly as advertised. The bed was large and very comfortable, with effective air conditioning and a good fridge. Blackout curtains worked perfectly for a restful sleep, and the lift system was efficient, quick, and well-programmed to reach all floors without long waits. Read less
