Really good Stay with Great Amenities

quality productsrefreshment oasisprofessional staffsmall shower
The breakfast buffet featured a massive selection of quality local products. The pool was well kept and offered refreshment after city strolls. The staff was very friendly and professional in all areas (from the groom to the restaurant personnel).
The bathroom shower was small and the floor got wet despite my efforts to prevent it. It would benefit from some updates to improve water containment. The placement of towels near the toilet paper felt less hygienic.

The mattress in the executive room lacked comfort. It should be addressed. furthermore, nobody offered assistance with our luggage upon arrival. a five-star hotel must provide this service. vegetarian choices at breakfast were also limited.

quick responsesmall roomno porter service
The staff responded quickly when I asked them to check conditions at the Municipal Swimming Center for training. This was acceptable.
The room I had was quite small. There was barely space for two suitcases. The breakfast lacked options for vegetarians. There were few choices available. no one offered assistance with our bags upon arrival, a service I expect at a five-star hotel.

The breakfast buffet had a very good selection of fruits and cooked food. Staff cleaned the room daily to a high standard (they were cheerful, too).
The pool has few sunbeds, sometimes people reserve them with towels, and they remain unused for hours.
