helpful receptionist tasty food
The hotel location is great and the staff are very nice. Ladislav, the receptionist, was especially helpful and funny. i also enjoyed the beautiful views from the hotel and tasty food available in the restaurant. i will be coming back again soon.
I noticed the wellness area loungers are uncomfortable since they lack padding. This made relaxing less enjoyable. the pool depth is shallow, unsuitable for swimming. i hope they address these issues soon.
