Travelled with family
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The property was built well but not maintained up to standard. On the website, it said ALL rooms had air conditioning but our room didn't have one and it was VERY hot. We didn't have a balcony either. Our room had 3 beds with very little distance between them and was very hot in the afternoons. The bath tub had dark mold. The pool had very cold water which didn't feel like mineral. It was largely unusable. The area around the hotel was not very walkable. There were no stores or other amenities around the hotel. There were large park areas which were not maintained and unusable. All things considered this was not 4star value and a lot of things promissed to us turned out not to be true.

Silence rest
I rested in a hotel for three days. The weather is wonderful. The food is delicious, but the breakfasts are monotonous. The service is very good, the room is comfortable and clean. The hotel has no entertainment. But if you seek silence, then only there. I had a very good rest

Towel swans and the restaurant sergeant
A peculiar hotel that benefits from the proximity to a posh nursing home for the elderly and some decent tennis courts. Nice pool. Atrocious breakfast and restaurant (luckily there is a great one near by) and the highlight of the stay were the very 70-ties towel swans left on the bed. Would I come back? Probably!? Would I run back? Nah...

좋은 호텔
4살 아이와 함께 숙박을 했는데 호텔 지배인이 예약한 방이 비좁을수 있으니 다는 방으로 박수와 주겠다며 더 큰 방으로 해주어 기분이 up되었다
