Poolside sat in shade for a lot of the day due to sun being blocked by other buildings and being non heated, made it quite cold to swim in unless the weather was hot. Rooms were clean and well equipped and the general aesthetic of the resort was awesome. The resort backs onto one of the tram stops which was handy and everything was easy walking/tram distance.
