Perfect. Almost.
Pros:

Got an upgrade upon check in.
And a birthday cake at breakfast.

Cons:

Fancy breakfast coffee machines were probably very expensive but produce the worst coffee I have had in a long time.

Ein wunderschöner Ort mit herzlichen Menschen.

Ein außergewöhnlich herzliches Team, das uns während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts mit viel Aufmerksamkeit, Humor und echter Gastfreundschaft begleitet hat.
