Pros:

Loved the hotel, so much on site, bars, shop and fabulous food. Staff were one nicer then the next. Entertainment was great fun in the ballroom and the Michael Jackson tribute in the INEC was magical. Our room was so comfy and we swam both mornings before a delicious breakfast.
Would definitely recommend 👌
