Really good Experience

outdoor poolexcellent servicespacious roomfantastic selection

The outdoor pool offered relaxation. Although it got busy, I still found time to swim. The staff provided excellent service, and the dinner was great. My room was spacious and bright. The breakfast included a fantastic selection of items.

It could only accommodate a few people at a time. This sometimes led to waiting during peak hours.

The art deco style throughout the hotel was wonderful. I especially liked the lobby area. The outdoor pool and terrace gave off a Mediterranean feeling. It really reminded me of a place to relax. The reception staff were also very cute and helpful.

The floorboards creaked so I could hear the people above me walking around. It woke me up both mornings.
