"Beautiful hotel with very friendly and polite staff. The breakfast is delicious. I spent almost two weeks and I absolutely adored this place. The pool area is wonderful. I enjoyed the gym and the hydro massage area (jacuzzis). This is included with your room reservation, you just need to make a reservation ahead of time. I noticed that they cleaned and sanitized each one after it was used. Overall it’s an amazing and very clean place to stay."
