I enjoyed my stay
Pros:

I have to say that the food was 1st class, it exceeded our expectations from the our 1st breakfast meal to the last meal we had at the hotel, everything was tasty.

Cons:

To be honest, the least I liked were the Bathrooms, I do think they need more attention or even a renovation would do justice to complete the accommodation.
