I recently stayed at this hotel and while the location was fantastic, right in the center of the village, there were definitely some areas that could use improvement. The service was friendly but also had its ups and downs, especially with how some requests were handled. Unfortunately, the room itself was not what I expected, needing a serious update. All in all, it was a mixed experience with a great location but issues with comfort and service.

The staff was friendly and helpful, but there were moments where it seemed the service could have been better. The location was excellent, and I loved the pool area, but the dining experience left a bit to be desired with limited options. Overall, I'd say it's good but just not ideal for the price I paid.

My stay was quite eventful! The rooms were clean and warm, but the loud disco music went on until 2 AM, making it hard to get a good night's sleep. The breakfast area felt a bit chaotic, and while the staff was friendly, it couldn't cover up the overall dreadful atmosphere. I appreciated the de luxe room upgrade, but it wasn't quite what I expected for the price.
