5 out of 5
Overall great stay. Very friendly and helpful staff. Modern and clean rooms/facilities. In resort prices on the higher side, but that's expected of a resort. Close to towns to easily adventure out.

Internet

Our overall stay was great with the exception of the Internet. The stay came with standard and if you wanted faster internet you could buy premium. We spent 50€ for 3 days and it still didn't work very well.
