For this high amount of money I would definitely book another accommodation.
Pros:

The facilities as well as the pool were nice and the staff was very kind as well as helpful. Furthermore, the AC worked very well.

Cons:

The wifi didn’t work at all even though we asked the staff several times. As you can see in the pictures, the bathroom was a catastrophe - it wasn’t cleaned properly and in desperate need of renovation. All in all, the price was way too high for what we got.

Bardzo przyjemne otoczenie, ale komfort pokojów za niski.
Pros:

Ośrodek jest nowy, zadbany, pokoje były czyste i wszystko w nich działało.

Cons:

Dostaliśmy pokój, którego patio wychodziło na schody, po których kursowali ludzie w dół i w górę. W ten sposób nie mieliśmy żadnej prywatności. Nie tak to wyglądało na zdjęciach i nie taki pokój zarezerwowałem. Ten pokój kosztował tyle samo, co inne..
Pokoje na 3 os były za małe. Brakowało nam miejsca. Mikroskopijne łazienki - bardziej pasujące do taniego pensjonatu, niż do resortu.

Pros:

Beautiful pool and gardens

Cons:

With the price charged in comparison to other hotels in the area, expectations are higher than the service provided.
Cocktail bar but no cocktails. Overpriced food.

It’s a nice place
Pros:

The staff were the best! They were very friendly and flexible. We originally planned to stay 3 nights but after changing our plans, they were really service oriented in helping us adjust our booking to 1 night instead. The pool is very nice. The breakfast was great.

Cons:

The facilities in the room and the chairs near the pool weren’t the best quality. Also the cleanness in the room wasn’t the best but it was ok. The location is also relatively less convenient because it’s not I.

Moderne kamers met fijn zwembad, goed ontbijt en fantastisch personeel!
Pros:

Een van de weinige semi moderne accommodaties in deze omgeving. Het personeel verdient een 10+, super vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

Cons:

De wifi was vreselijk, op de kamers uberhaupt geen wifi, op het terrein niet stabiel. Verder zijn de ligbedden bij het zwembad zwaar aan vervanging toe: helemaal doorgezakt en van sommigen was de rugleuning kapot. Volgens het super vriendelijk en behulpzame personeel mag het van de manager pas na het seizoen vervangen worden.
