I enjoyed the indoor swimming pool! lifeguards were always present which was reassuring. the aztec bistro was a great place for a meal. I loved the outdoor terrace. breakfasts were also very good with plenty of options.
i found the bed firmer than i prefer, and even with the window open, the room was too warm overnight so it was difficult to sleep well!
