food selection varied restaurants limited minibar old equipment

the food selection was quite good and varied. i enjoyed the different restaurants available to me. the hotel staff were generally friendly. i found them approachable whenever i needed assistance.

The mini bar in my room only had water. it was disappointing as i expected more from a hotel of this caliber. the gym equipment looked quite old. Some machines seemed worn.

relaxing getaway!

many pools amazing team king size bed spacious bathroom

the resort has many pools and sunbeds. My standard room included a spacious bathroom and a king size bed. I really liked the payot bar because the service was professional. The team there was amazing!

The music at the pool by the flame restaurant played too loud. the music selection did not match most of the guests.
