"The buffet breakfast was great. The room wasn’t too bad, no plug for the bath and reception couldn’t offer one that fits which is a big deal when you have a toddler who likes to have a bath. The gym is very basic, only one weight machine. The spa didn’t work properly on the first day and wasn’t fixed during the 3 night stay. The barbeque they offer for each room was great though."
