Wonderful Hotel Experience

friendly stafftaxi arrangementfree shuttle
I appreciated the staff's readiness to help. They quickly provided additional deckchairs when the pool got crowded. the hotel organized taxis to and from the airport for €26, cheaper. I liked the free shuttle service to town and back.
The gym didn't open until 9, and then breakfast closed at 10:30.

the free shuttle to town was nice, it meant i didn't have to worry about parking my car.
i found that our economy double balcony room was really small, and there wasn't much space for our luggage. the balcony itself barely fit one person, so we couldn't really sit out there together. it was quite disappointing.

i was impressed with the breakfast. it had a very good selection of dishes. the swimming pool was a good size, not too crowded. the shuttle bus to town was a very nice bonus.
the soap dispensers were located VERY high in the bathroom. this was uncomfortable, and the soap dripped everywhere. people were smoking on balconies, which i didn't like. i guess it is not the hotel's fault.
