כיף גדול תודה!
Pros:

המלון במיקום מעולה!! הבריכה וגג המלון עם נוף מהמם, בערב הופך לבר. צוות הקבלה פשוט מדהים! שכחנו 150 יורו על דלפק הקבלה והנציגים בקבלה שמרו לנו אותו, כשחזרנו לשאול אם ראו כסף מיד בדקו והשיבו לנו את הסכום, כיף שיש כאלה עובדים אדיבים וישרים. האווירה במלון צעירה ומודרנית מלא מקומות לשבת ולהנות.
