Beautiful hotel, facilities were great with gym and indoor heated pool. Breakfast buffet was excellent with great variety of food. The only downside is the family room is quite small in size for 2 adults and 2 kids, we don't have enough space to put open our luggages comfortably and the bathroom sink also quite small we have no space to put our toileteries bags Other than that, we had a great stay!
