Despite the room being clean when checking in it was still dirty. Numerous issues were found in the room (sink clogged etc.). Signage to the room was confusing and no elevator or easy access to the 5th floor.

Nice hotel, lots of things to do. Pool was a bit crowded with screaming kids. Too bad no adults only pools lol. Also only one restaurant open, wish more choices. Staff was great. Everything way overpriced.

Excellent family holiday!!!

There is lots of activities to do at the resort. The rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. There is no ac in the room so I would recommend packing a fan. We loved all the activities right at the resort!!

Loved the hot pool annd mountain surroundings Room is newly renovated and in a good state. Only downside is lack of daily room cleaning and air conditioning. When it’s 34 degrees outside it’s pretty warm inside and takes forever to cool down. If they even added portable a/c would probably improve the hotel immensely.

There was no air conditioning in the rooms, and we pack meals for cost effectiveness, but there was no microwave in the rooms or on site to use. Completely affected our trip.

Comfy bedding, clean room once you get there. No elevator so dragging luggage up stairs was less than ideal. No balcony, no microwave but the pool was nice, after you did those stairs as well.
