Good. I would return and recommend.

7.0

The facf that there was a chef to prepare hot breakfast/ meals and a swimming pool. They were very responsive, polite and helpful during my stay. I am grateful for the choice I made.

Early checkin was quite stressful, they slept off and were unresponsive at arrival even when I communicated prior.

Personale gentile con camere economiche ma bagni da ristrutturare

6.0

La gentilezza e cordialità dello staff. Abbiamo organizzato con loro la cruise ed era economica e carina.

La camera era molto peggio di come appariva in foto. Erano sporchi gli asciugamani, pessime condizioni io bagno con doccia otturata.
