We stayed in a room with one king-size bed and two single beds, which was perfect for our family. One of the highlights was the thermal spa pool located just behind the room. It was so relaxing to soak in the warm thermal pool after dinner—it made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The bathroom is a little dated, but it was very clean and the shower had great water...
