the breakfast was a fabulous experience with excellent quality food. dining in the bar and restaurant was also a highlight. the playground on site proved to be a big bonus for my kids, it helped them burn off energy before bedtime. the leisure club provided a good-sized, family-friendly pool.

carrying heavy bags up the stairs presented a challenge. it might pose an issue with mobility concerns.
