When we got to the hotel, we expected to park at the hotel but unfortunately there was no more parking. We had to park somewhere else where we had to walk all the way back to the hotel. The hotel was excellent and so was the staff.

So lovely

Beautiful place, very centrally located, with lots of kind staff, a fancy bar and restaurant and a great room. Just a perfect place to stay for a few days. The pool is fun although the changing rooms could do with a (carpet-free) upgrade.
