The room was clean, pleasant, and spacious enough for a family of three with separate beds. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, which made the stay more enjoyable. The pool was a nice temperature and generally inviting. However, the chlorine level seemed quite high, as it caused eye irritation even without getting water directly in them. It was also disappointing that the sauna and steam room were out of order during the stay.
