Travelled with family and small children
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I had called a few days prior to our stay to check whether the outdoor pool was definitely heated and I was advised it was. When we arrived and went to the pool the pool was cold with only one jet working. Our toddler was excited about coming to stay and go into the pool. I had to request to change our room to include a bath so she was able to sit in some sort of water. Also, the rooms are quite small for what we expected. We have stayed at other hotels where the rooms and bathrooms were larger and can fit two adults and a small child and the price was less. Overall, disappointed with our stay for what we paid.
