Nice big hotel
Pros:

I liked the restaurant, playground and that it had a swimming pool. The hotel staff were lovely and friendly. Nice breakfast in the morning.

Cons:

The staff in the swimming pool weren't very welcoming. We were told at the beginning we weren't able to pay for 2 extra kids to then be told we could buy guest passes which is what we wanted to do at the start. We were then told when we were in the pool that the 16 month old baby needed a swim hat (all the other 6 people had hats) and we had to purchase one for €3.30. It didn't even fit him because it was adult size! It felt like they just wanted to give out to us.

Cons:

La piscina chiude troppo presto per i ragazzi. Alloggiavamo in 5 in una camera familiare: tre tazze e neanche un piccolo frigo.
Nella sauna scarso igiene

Interessant pour loger une famille nombreuse!
Pros:

La possibilité d’être hébergé une famille ayant 2 enfants et un jeune adulte dans la même chambre (2 lits doubles et 1 lit simple). Le personnel vraiment très souriant, sympathique et accueillant.

Cons:

La nourriture du restaurant de l’hôtel était plutôt ordinaire (mais le perso vraiment attentionné). Par contre le buffet pour le petit déjeuner était bien , beaucoup de choix et beaucoup de place dans la salle à manger .
