10/10 Exceptional

Nice hotel with clean, spacious rooms and a good staff. The hotel is somewhat isolated, but they also had a full restaurant, although there was a large group being catered the night we were there, so there was some competition for service. There was a very nice pool area, good parking and a good breakfast, so it was an excellent stay.

4/10 Fair

The property was built well but not maintained up to standard. On the website, it said ALL rooms had air conditioning but our room didn't have one and it was VERY hot. We didn't have a balcony either. Our room had 3 beds with very little distance between them and was very hot in the afternoons. The bath tub had dark mold. The pool had very cold water which didn't feel like mineral. It was largely unusable. The area around the hotel was not very walkable. There were no stores or other amenities around the hotel. There were large park areas which were not maintained and unusable. All things considered this was not 4star value and a lot of things promissed to us turned out not to be true.

Silence rest
I rested in a hotel for three days. The weather is wonderful. The food is delicious, but the breakfasts are monotonous. The service is very good, the room is comfortable and clean. The hotel has no entertainment. But if you seek silence, then only there. I had a very good rest

Towel swans and the restaurant sergeant
A peculiar hotel that benefits from the proximity to a posh nursing home for the elderly and some decent tennis courts. Nice pool. Atrocious breakfast and restaurant (luckily there is a great one near by) and the highlight of the stay were the very 70-ties towel swans left on the bed. Would I come back? Probably!? Would I run back? Nah...

Not that great for English speaking guests. But I can imagine that the hotel is a great stay for the locals. Seemed nice and got the feeling that it is a relaxing place.

Hyvä perustason hotelli
Hotelli oli todella mukava. Siisti uima-allas ja paljon aurinkotuoleja. Hyvä rauhallinen sijainti. Huoneessa oli hyvän kokoinen parveke ja ilmastointi. Huone oli siisti, mutta päivittäinen siivous oli lähinnä sängyn petaus ja roskisten tyhjennys. Olisin toivonut myös imurointia. Kylpyhuoneessa oli selkeästi ollut kosteusvaurioita jossain vaiheessa. Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä, vaikkeivät kovin hyvin englantia puhuneet. Ravintolassa otettiin lapseni allergiat hyvin huomioon. Ravintolan hinta-laatu-suhde oli erinomainen. Kuntosali, jonka käyttö kuului huoneen hintaan, oli pieni, mutta sieltä löytyi kaikki tarvittava
