You will not regret staying here..
What can I say, it was probably one of the best hotel experiences in have ever had. From the moment I stepped into the hotel, the room and bed, the pool and sauna. The staff was fantastic every minute of it and helpful. Bed was soft and fabulous to rest in. The water pressure was amazing. Staying here was fabulous, great food around and icecream. Nice harbourwalks all around. Thank you very much!

The problem was after having repeatedly checked the reservation in advance for our two rooms, suddenly our junior suit was not available on the day of arrival. After long an intensive discuss they "looked again" and suddenly it was available again......... Also I had repeatedly asked for the two rooms I reserved to be near to each other. They were on opposite ends of the hotel on the furthest away floors. This divided our family in a very inconvenient way.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was well appointed and comfortable. The downside was the thin walls which made it easy to hear conversation, the television, a cell phone ringing and a barling dog from an adjacent room. In addition, the hallway is dark with a darly patterned carpet which does nothing for atmosphere.
