Decent hotel room close to the airport, with shuttle service every 30 min. The person at check-in rattled off the information at a very high speed, and things like breakfast rates were not available in the room (not via the QR code that was all that was there either). Fairly decent gym and unfortunately unheated outdoor pool. Lovely settings around the pool though.
