I found the heated outdoor pool AMAZING!!! the good restaurant offered nice evening meals. the staff was very accommodating. They even let me keep my car in the spacious underground car park after i checked out. it really made my departure stress-free.

The safe in my room wasn't fixed to anything, so i could have just tucked it under my arm and walked out. That definitely needs attention.
