Kurz und erholsam.
Pros:

Guter Ort zum erholen. Schöne Pools mit viel Privatsphäre. Gutes Restaurant

Cons:

Gym war sehr schlecht unterhalten und viele Geräte kaputt.
Die Autobahn ist auf dem Balkon der Zimmer mit Meerblick sehr laut hörbar. Frühstück ist eher mager, man kann 2 Portionen bestellen, eine Tasse kaffe extra muss bezahlt werden….
