A great place for an active vacation.
Pros:

The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the hotel staff were exceptionally kind and helpful. The breakfast offered a great variety of options and was absolutely delicious.

We especially appreciated that the water in the outdoor pool was heated. It was wonderful to relax and splash around there even on cooler evenings.

Another great feature was the ability to order pizza from the kitchen 24/7. This was particularly convenient on the evening of our arrival, when we were tired and hungry after a long flight.

The tennis court had a freshly resurfaced playing surface, and the equipment provided by the hotel was in excellent condition.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to relax, enjoy some sports activities, and escape the hustle and bustle of the city. At the same time, it is not too far from the city center, being only about a 30-minute drive away.

Pros:

Petit déjeuner est très bien

Cons:

Le restaurant n’est pas top, il n’y a pas tout ce qui est proposé sur la carte , le plus choquant est le dessert qui traîne toute la soirée dans la salle de restaurant sur une desserte à l’air libre

Cons:

Dicen que tienen un SPA aunque después te dicen que no es de ellos que lo regentan otros y hay que pedir hora además abren únicamente por las tardes. En fin no volvería la verdad.
