compared to the staff in the restaurants and by the pool, the staff on the reception are a little cold

very minor comment but having to pay for extra small things, like a swimming hat for the pool or being asked to pay for a bucket of ice to go to the room, didn’t feel like 5 star

the pool, the jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room - we used all the facilities

they had let us know that the swimming pool and jacuzzi were out of action, but we really enjoyed the sauna and steam room

the property is better than on the photos, good territory, pool and jacuzzi, sunbeds, bar on the riverside and very good restaurant in the main building

i only wish the outdoor pool had been open during our stay. otherwise, everything was excellent.

view, indoor pool, friendly staff

the staff are exceptional and the pool overlooks the river

the setting, the pool, the service, the breakfast, the beds, the shower - all of it

we also missed having a restaurant on-site, no meals are available in the evenings, and the bar service was very slow

the bar area is also excellent; however, the staff could have been more efficient and friendly.

the roof top pool and bar is spectacular but the staff were a bit unattentive and there was a dreadful smell coming from

the bar was extremely expensive

hotel, polite staff, comfy bed, overpriced swimming pool hat for 4euro, spa area very poorly maintained- jacuzzi, steam room and sauna room was not

pecially the indoor/outdoor

the outdoor area/pool very attractive

would have liked pool to be opened longer. open 8am to 8pm

clean and nice apartment, everythings very new, nice terrace, pool with a great view, bit harder if you are with a car, search for parkings and walk a few mins

arrived to find the pool out of order

the pool was closed while we were there but that was due to maintenance, so nothing to moan about, but

the steam room and pool where great to relax in after a long day walking
