Andre and Francesca at the front desk were very helpful. They were amazing hosts and assisted me. The hotel is very clean. The swimming pool is spacious and clean. I found an area to lay down by the pool.
The hotel seemed quite busy. I went for breakfast around 7.45 and found it disappointing. The orange juice was missing. The chafing dishes were cold and empty.
