Yes yes yes!

Our one-night stay was absolutely wonderful. Every employee had a warm smile and made us feel genuinely welcome. The hotel was spotless, well-maintained, and provided a truly relaxing atmosphere. The food was fantastic, and the service was outstanding—staff went above and beyond to accommodate our last-minute requests. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and can’t wait to visit again!

Pool Time Cut Over Easter Weekend

Its a lovely Hotel, beautifully furnished and well looked after reception rooms. Unfortunately, I, the paying guest for all 4 rooms for 2 nights over the Easter weekend, I received the awful room with a slowing ceiling right behind the end of the bed where I had to walk past all the time to get to the bathroom. In the night I had banged my head, forgetting about the sloped ceiling. But the staff gave me another room right away the next morning. I did not realize that the hotel is a dog Hotel and it seems that there are not dedicated rooms just for guests with dogs as I had I am allergic to dogs. Breakfast and dinners were excellent. The pool and Sauna & Steam room are very beautiful but the regulation that on the Easter weekend the pool was closed on Saturday and Sunday at 7 pm and on the public Holiday Monday even earlier at 6pm was very annoying. On normal days the polos stays open until 10 pm, it seems that the guests have not the privilege for staying at the hotel at special occasions to get the same service than at normal times of the years, due to staff payment.
