pleasant stay

the bar staff was always friendly and very helpful (a big plus!). i only booked a single room, but i got a double bed in my room, so that was a nice surprise. the location was convenient to boutique shops and food stalls.
the drink supplies in my room weren't topped up, and there wasn't any soap in the bathroom. i had to ask for it.
Facilities

the hotel offers a fantastic pool that my children enjoyed thoroughly, a pub on the ground floor where i found tasty food, and there are regular singing and dancing performances for entertainment. i felt secure because keycard access was required for each corridor.
