The area around the pool needed a good clean and the poor reviews for the restaurant at dinner meant we did not eat there

Convenient, comfortable and good value for money
Pros:

The indoor pool is great. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Breakfast was good.

Cons:

The bathroom wasn’t very clean - particularly the shower which needed a good scrub. We booked a garden view room but were given a room overlooking the internal atrium.
