Solid hotel with a few minor drawbacks
easy accessclean roomgood locationfriendly staff
i liked the resort. it has easy beach access. i thought the resort was very well run. the staff was very friendly. my room was clean and the hotel is in a good location near the walled city.
the breakfast felt basic. the quality and options were very simple. it was more like a two-star or three-star continental breakfast with hot options. prices at the onsite restaurant are very high.
