“No complaints; the venue met expectations. We had a very good stay on vacation. The staff were well-trained, and the location was perfect – away from the main city centre yet close to a cheaper restaurant and the international and domestic airports. There was also an à la carte restaurant nearby. Breakfast was rich with tons of options, perfect to start the day.”
