Overall wonderful stay. The rooms and facilities were clean. The indoor pool was nice as it was cooler when we were there. There was a good variety of food at the buffet (we had a 1/2 board) and the staff were very attentive to ensue everything was well stocked, well presented and clean. For me, the bed was not comfortable - not used to having two beds pushed together...but I guess that is a thing in parts of Europe. Also, the dinner with a 1/2 board does not include drinks (not even soft drinks or water)...just something to keep in mind.
