Breakfast and dinner were AMAZING!!! The food was really the best I have had. Staff were very helpful. Marco even booked tours for us while we swam. He went out of his way to deliver the paperwork to our apartment door. I am so grateful!!!
I was on the first floor, so I did not sleep well. I constantly heard people talking and workers laughing. I also heard them carrying baskets and pushing trolleys around. There was no window.
