the staff seemed friendly. the food was delicious, i think. i really wanted clear information about what foods contained meat. my friend is vegetarian, and we needed to ask the staff about ingredients sometimes.
the pool water seemed unclean. we didn't see nobody cleaning it, so i feel it was not up to standards. i also found that this hotel don't suits persons with mobility issues because it has many steps and a steep hill to get to it.
