Decent room with good sports facilities but did not feel like an executive room.
Pros:

Sports facilities were really good including a gym and pool.
We had a decent sizes room, but we did pay extra for it as an executive room.

Cons:

The room did not seem like it was worth the money / an executive room, it was ok for size but not great. The bathroom was very small and the door was a sliding door which had such a gap when it "closed" it meant there was no privacy.

Not as good as previous stays.
Pros:

The pool area was nice.

Cons:

We felt like we were second class citizens as we had booked via booking.com and not direct with the hotel. In the past we have been given rooms on the first corridor this time the first room we were given was quite a distance from reception we asked to change and were given a room just a few doors down from the original.
We had a meal in the bar that evening and my steak which I had asked to be medium was extremely well done.
Breakfast the next day was poor quality the fried bread and sausages were overcooked and very hard.
