I stayed two nights. the room was fresh with a decent sized bathroom. breakfast was well organised, with a large choice of bread. filter coffee was available. the pool is a good size, enabling actual swimming and doing lengths. Plenty of loungers were available too.
it was difficult to reach the hotel. the whole town seems to be renovated, i ended up in a car park with a long walk. maps and satnav didn't help because of all the deviations!
