I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which offered spacious and modern rooms. The staff was incredibly attentive and the amenities were excellent, providing great value for money. However, the breakfast variety could use some improvement, and the pool area, while nice, was a bit crowded at times which affected the experience.
