excellent breakfast beautiful areas
The breakfast offered lots of choice, it was excellent! the spa had beautiful areas where i could relax. there was seating in the garden. I enjoyed a drink in the sun there.
for a hotel claiming five stars, i noticed no bar as such was present! there was just a small seating area next to the restaurant, it felt a bit basic.

the breakfast buffet was amazing , with a beautiful setup. i found the food selection delicious and varied. i especially enjoyed the pool area , it gave me a great way to end the day.
at the end of my stay , i settled my bill. i noticed a charge of 200 euros on my card with no immediate explanation. i found this situation concerning and the resolution took an unreasonable amount of time.

unpleasant odor excessive wait times
The breakfast was acceptable, with a sufficient variety of options available each morning.
The air conditioning in my room emitted an unpleasant odor, made the room uncomfortable. I reported it to the front desk, but nothing was done. the wait times for service at the restaurant were excessive (even during off-peak hours).
