great varietyhigh-quality ingredientsvery friendly
The food had great variety and high-quality ingredients. I particularly enjoyed the main restaurant. The on-site aqua park offered fun for all ages. The facilities seemed clean and well-kept. The staff were efficient and very friendly.
Sun loungers got reserved with towels very early. It was hard to find available ones.
