Aquila Atlantis Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was great! We were only there for one night but the room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The food in the restaurant was delicious for an easy dinner after a long day/night of flying and breakfast was good too! I wish we could have tried the pool but it was closed when we arrived and we had to leave early for our tour."
