Short but worthy.
Pros:

It was a great property in an even better location!

Cons:

The only issue was the scent in the hallway (it wasn’t too pleasant) but i’m sure that most likely isn’t the hotels fault.

Pros:

The Hotel gives a nice holiday feeling from the beginning of the entrance, the pool area is amazing and thw cocktails in the Poolbar are super delicious.

Rooms size was super, we had a suite, which was really nice with 2 seperate ACs.

Cons:

While the hotel itself is wonderful and delivers a great holiday atmosphere, the breakfast experience was a major disappointment. The dining area felt unhygienic particularly the butter and cream cheese spread area, where open jars were used instead of hygienic, individually wrapped portions. Not enough cups for coffee and juice and then the strict policy of closing the breakfast room door precisely at 9:30 AM felt unwelcoming and unusually rigid for a hotel of this caliber.
