Our stay was lovely. It was safe for my son and it was comfy with all required amendities. The swimming pool was great f
Pros:

The staff were so kind, the rooms were spacious and clean. The location was perfect also.

Cons:

The only thing was that I found the price of 400 euro for one night a bit expensive - especially as we didn’t get complimentary breakfast and had to pay for parking.
