The hotel is a short taxi ride from the airport, great after a late arrival. The rooms, reception, and restaurant were all very clean. I found the pool lovely and refreshing. Breakfast had an excellent selection of fruits, yogurts, and cooked food.
I noticed the minibar sometimes didn't work, so I ended up buying my own water bottles (a minor inconvenience).

The breakfast buffet offered a wide array of options, from fresh fruit and yogurt to a selection of hot dishes. The waiting staff was cheerful and very happy to help guests (especially with coffee refills).
