hotel good, restaurant bad
Cons:

Restaurant service very very very slow. Waited for 50min for food (and restaurant was not busy), only to hear after asking, again, to hear chef is starting with our order now.... We left and they brought the food to our room another +-30 min later...

Pros:

Location, calm, staff very helpful

Cons:

Your "pool" is a joke. How on earth do you expect anyone to swim laps in this. It's deceiving as it seems long enough, but the incredible shallow pool makes swimming impossible.
